Gianna flips open one of the computers and turns it on. It behaves. "Thanks!"
The door opens, and Gianna flies to the door to greet her mate with a kiss, and then stands aside to reveal Maggie.
"Hi, guys," says Maggie, "how's Ireland treating you?"
"He's fixed our computers," Gianna volunteers.
"Sweet."
