I very much would.

[ gideon has loved rip for over a decade. she slipped into it so easily that it might as well have been written into her code. it was something she never thought to classify before. he was married. she was an ai with no real way to differentiate between romance and other types of love. there was never a need to.

she's still not sure if or how she should do that. all she knows is hat she loves this man in front of her and for the first (possibly only) time, she can reach out to him the way another human being would. and she is very grateful.

slowly, she steps into his space. cups his jaw in her palms and runs her thumbs gently along his cheekbones. the hint of stubble tickles her hands and she smiles as her fingers move to brush the goatee, the bridge of his nose, the arch of an eyebrow, the curve of his cupid's bow. she lets her hands drift down the sides of his neck to rest on his chest. the gentle th-thump of his heartbeat makes her feel what she assumes is "the warm fuzzies."

after a moment, she slips her arms around his waist and presses herself close to him in a hug. in his mind, when he first freed himself from the brig, it seemed only natural to embrace him when he reached for her. it was a gesture that gideon knew, intellectually, to be comforting. now, she understands why. ]
