There was a noticeable tremble on Beatrice's hands, but the woman's were firm and tender at the same time. She squeezed as Beatrice said her name.
“Beatrice," she repeated and swallowed, eyes brightening and watering as if the name had tasted almost too sweet for her. "I suggest we spend the rest of our lives together if you'd like, but there is a request - just one - I need to make." Beatrice quirked a brow, feeling her palm gather sweat. "May we kiss just before the world ends?”

“Ah, like create a Sim.” Ava nodded. At Beatrice’s blank look, she said, “It’s an earth game. We’ll play sometime. And, um, you know. You guys did a great job. At arranging.”
“Thank you.” Beatrice blinked. “It was designed to be aesthetically pleasing.”
“So you’re hot on purpose.” She blew out a long breath. “Honestly, thank God. That’s kind of relieving. I was worried I was—”

Or,
Beatrice is an alien researcher looking for information on earth. Ava, as it turns out, has a lot to teach her.
