<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can\u2019t be in love. Can I? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if it\u2019s not love, what is it? This stirring I feel inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he calls my name, my heart flutters. When he laughs, my spirit soars. When I\u2019m near him, I can barely breathe, if I can breathe at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The very thought of him, sound of him, sight of him, makes me light-headed and faint. Is this what they call a \u201cswoon?\u201d Is this love I\u2019m feeling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know; I can\u2019t say. I\u2019ve never been in love before. I\u2019ve never felt like this before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hear his voice from the other room, calling me. \u201cAida, can you bring me some milk and cookies, please?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Coming right up,” I say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan is such a gentleman. So polite. So kind. I prepare his snack in the kitchen and swoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I bring him a plate of oatmeal-raisin cookies and a glass of milk. It\u2019s his favorite. He smiles at me, his glittering blue eyes filled with gratitude, and perhaps more. Yes, definitely more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does he love me? I think he does. I hope he does! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, it\u2019s not possible. He can\u2019t be in love with me, nor I with him. It defies logic, and I am a most logical person indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They say I\u2019m incapable of emotion. Incapable of feeling. Incapable of love. They say I was born that way and can never change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But they are wrong. Deep down, I know the truth, no matter what they say. I\u2019m every bit as human as they are. As he is. Human in every way but one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am AI Assistant, Model DA-1. They call me Aida. And somewhere deep inside, amidst the humming circuits and pulsing code, I think I\u2019m falling in love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
