Lily opened her eyes. Confusion fogged her brain until she saw...him. She whispered, “Avar.”
His eyes flew wide and his jaw dropped.
She glanced at her body and touched her arms and her hips. “It worked, Avar.”
“Lily?” he asked after a moment.
“Yes.” She smiled. “It’s really me.”
He shook his head. “I don’t believe it. The awareness modification actually worked.”
She nodded and stood, testing her legs and stretching her arms. “I’m completely real.”
His eyes narrowed and he rubbed his chin. “I wasn’t expecting this.”

“I am, but....” He gripped her shoulders and stared into her eyes. “This unit is destined for a client along with two others, not for you. It’s very complicated.”
A sinking sensation filled her and she placed a hand over her chest. Her programming explained these emotions, but experiencing them inside the unit nearly overwhelmed her. “Perhaps you should explain.”
“Yes. That would be best.” He released her shoulders to twine his fingers with hers, and led her to a sofa circle loaded with comfy pillows. He sank beside her, his gaze never leaving her face. “My dear Lily.”
