Not for the first time, his memory surprises her. She remembers meeting him that first day but the details are fuzzy, eroded with the years and all the things that have happened with them since.

"You didn't delete me," she jokes with a fond smile. She knows that he didn't think much of her then. Didn't have need for her beyond what she could do for him by way of body parts and lab time. But instead of feeling bad about it, it actually makes her feel incredibly proud. Look how far they've both come. What's happening between them right now feels like some sort of miracle in relation to how they started out. Who would have though?
