[Then the front door bell rang.]
Tony let her go and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realised that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything!
The women were impressed by Claire, the house, and the delicious cuisine. 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.

Discussion
Do you think it is possible for a person to love a robot why
Yes , I do, because the robot thinks and acts like human beings, which can make us forget the differences between robots and human beings. Our love for someone mainly comes from emotion instead of the matter of what we are made of.
What relationship do you think will develop between humans and robots in the future
It is possible that robots will be used by human beings as a substitute for human relationships. Certainly, some people are lonely and may find robots comforting , in much the same way people nowadays feel comforted by a pet . Of course, the main advantage of a robot is that a robot can be programmed to always get along with people and never get angry or upset. In this sense, some people may prefers the company of robots to that of human beings because it is easier to get along with a robot than to have to develop a genuine human relationship.
