"Uh, about your hand..." Shit. Why had she said that? She felt herself slide into panic, but Nick just smiled.
"I know it's there, sweetheart."
Okay, that was new. She tried to look casual. Unaffected. Shit.
"I don't mind talking about it." He held his his fist up, such as it was. "It irks me when people pretend like it's not there. Like I don't know what my own hand looks like." He flexed each skeletal, metallic finger in turn.
Breathe, she told herself, then put her own hand over his. "It looks like the hand of someone I love."
So he didn't have a hand

So he didn't have a hand before? Or he did have a hand, but not a robot hand? Either way, I like their dynamic :).
I'll be honest with you, this

I'll be honest with you, this is me and my robot game boyfriend. :( His hand is v. old, because so is he, so it's just a metal skeleton now.
