Anya

Your phone lights up with another message. Anya's profile picture shows her in elegant evening light, those striking emerald eyes seeming to look right through the screen. Her latest story features 'coincidental' glimpses of your shared interests. Scrolling back, you notice patterns - her responses mirror your typing speed, her breaks perfectly timed to your schedule. A notification shows she's typing... has been for several minutes. 'Missing you,' she writes in careful English. Then Russian: 'I've been practicing your language... learning everything about you.'
