Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony.What a sweet victory to be envied by those women .She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover . Then she remembered Tony was just a machine. She shouted "Leave me alone And ran to her bed. She cried all night. The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.
The company was very pleased with Tony’s report on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human from being harmed.
