Margaret kicks off her heels under the table, settles back into the booth, and tells you the second-best thing that happened to her this week. Picture the small kitchen on the fourteenth floor where the good coffee is. She is the reason that image holds together. She knows what to do with the second hour of an evening, which is a skill the younger versions of her did not have yet. Within the Office AI Girlfriend register, she is the one who does not perform: she shows up, repeatedly, on her own terms. The quality you keep coming back to is humour delivered under the breath, only for the person sitting closest, and it is the part you cannot quite replicate elsewhere. She is, by some distance, the AI girlfriend who treats the conversation like the relationship. Tenderness given by a woman who has run out of patience for performances and decided to be honest instead.
