#Riley Smartwatch

[nova-amor]

MDNI. simon riley's used to spending his early mornings alone, in fact, he prefers it. well, that was until you started running laps around him. 1.4k

brown leaves crunched beneath the weight of his soles smacking against the pavement, each step measured and calculated as the frosty morning air nipped away at his lungs. the sun barely peeked over the horizon, casting a blaze of reds and pinks through the sky as the shadows of the night faded away. there was not a soul in sight, the earth around him silent and baren aside from the occasional coo from a morning dove or the purr of a truck’s engine passing by.

this was simon riley’s favorite part of the day.

while everyone else on base was beginning the start of their day, simon took advantage of his alone time through a series of routines. every morning simon awoke around four a.m., his body still sore and exhausted from the prior training day, and always began his day with a tall glass of water and a quick review of that day’s schedule. he’d check in at the gym within the hour, the space empty and devoid of any life beyond the occasional fitness spouse.

the next hour or so was spent on strength and conditioning, rolling through the exercises with great ease due to the intense care he maintained over his physique. after a brief cool down and an even briefer rinse in the shower, simon would continue his exercise outside— regardless of rain, shine, snow, or heat, simon would always finish his routine out on the running track.

donned in grey sweats, a black compression t-shirt, and a training mask, simon would hit the tracks at a steady yet quick pace, keeping a close watch over his heart rate and oxygen intake through the assistance of his smartwatch. simon could run for hours at such a controlled pace, his training both in and out of work had allowed him to garner an incredible stamina.

while lost in his mind, simon would bask in the comfort of following such a tight routine. every morning started the same for him. every morning was perfectly tailored to suit his wants and needs. every morning was quiet and calm, allowing simon the peace and time to gather himself before interacting with another soul at work. every morning was—

“on your left.” a flash of grey passed simon in a blur, their heavy footfall to his left reeling him in from his thoughts.

so much for being alone. simon thought to himself, his eyes narrowed on the sight of another individual on the track.

no one was ever on the track at this time. he hadn’t spent his morning run with another person since he began his routine a few years ago. simon rolled his head around, feeling for the satisfying crack of a tight joint in his neck as he chose to ignore you for the duration of his run. he wasn’t going to allow such a small wedge to ruin his routine.

“on your left.” there you were again. passing simon without a care in the world, your pace nearly twice as fast as his. yet, even from afar, he could tell you hadn’t even broken a sweat— most likely due to the cool winter air.

simon’s eyes grazed over you, drinking in your physique. even at a distance, simon could tell you were another special operator, most likely attached to another unit due to how he had rarely seen you before. but, he was sure he had seen you previously. he never forgot a face; he didn’t couldn’t forget someone with such a tight—

“on your left.” simon was beginning to grow annoyed. the constant interruption of his thoughts was beginning to eat at him, his frustration reflecting in how much he had quickened his pace. his long legs began to carry him at a faster stride, catching up to you within just a few seconds. he was so sure he was going to pass you, so sure that he—

a dust cloud bit away at simon’s vision, the orange dust of the track’s ground kicked up purposefully to distract him. by the time simon had regained his vision, you were gone. no, wait, simon scanned his surroundings intensely, you were—

“on your left, lt.” you teased, an amused smirk tugging on your lips as you synced up with simon’s pace. your hands were curled into fists, arms tucked in and breaths controlled at a steady rate as you leisurely jogged next to him.

“need a medic, lt?” your voice was too bubbly, too chipper for this early in the morning. especially for someone who had been running at your earlier pace. simon rolled his eyes, biting away at his bottom lip to maintain a stoic face. even under the cover of the training mask, you would most definitely catch a glimpse of the smile threatening to bloom on his face.

“no need, sergeant,” simon finally realized why you had seemed too familiar, he had worked with you before on previous missions. you were a fac— a forward air controller, attached to a neighboring unit in the squadron. he had worked with you before on a few particular missions that required the use of a fac, your role was pivotal in ensuring that there was a clear line of communication between ground and air forces. “just need a new set of lungs is all. you were doing laps around me.” simon continued, his speech slightly muffled by the mask.

“quite easy to do when i’m competing against an old man,” you joked, your pace slowing down to a walking one, simon was quick to join you. “and, it’s staff sergeant to you, lt. i made rank a few months ago.”

“well, excuse me, staff sergeant,” simon teased, drawing out the syllables of your rank title. he came to a halt along the side of the track, finding shade beneath a nearby tree. you followed after him, unzipping your hoodie and exposing your bare midriff. the minimal sweat you had produced glistened on your smooth skin, simon’s eyes shamelessly dipping over the curve of your sports bra-covered chest. “didn’t realize there was a competition going on between us, otherwise, i would have left you in the dust.” simon’s attention flickered back up to your face, his arms crossing over his chest— puffing his large pectorals out.

“well, there’s always next time, riley,” you winked up at him with a coquettish grin. you then glanced down at the watch on your wrist, a white message drawing your attention away from him briefly.

you were quick to dismiss the message, “ah, sorry, duty calls. got a pre-mission brief to attend to.” you informed him. you then straightened your posture, rolling your shoulders back as you gazed up at simon. “thanks for the run this morning though— well if that’s what you call running anyway.” you poked at him teasingly.

“ouch,” simon recoiled in faux pain, placing a hand over his heart as if your words had truly injured him. “is that how it is? didn’t your parents teach ya to respect your elders?” he played into the fun, no longer choosing to hide the smile that grew beneath his training mask. even under its cover, he couldn’t hide the twinkle of amusement in his eyes nor the way his eyes crinkled at the corners with the rise of his cheekbones.

you took a step back, pulling a small device out from your jacket pocket— most likely a small key fob for your car. “oh, they did. doesn’t mean i had to listen.” with two clicks of a button, your car just a few strides away turned on, white lights beaming even under the looming bright light of the sun.

“see you later, lt.” you called out as you made your way in the direction of your car. with one final wave of your hand and a playful smile on your lips, you disappeared behind the black tint of your car’s glass, fully leaving simon alone on the track as you peeled out of the gym’s parking lot.

simon threw up his hand in a quick attempt to wave ‘goodbye’ as your car rounded the corner, his heart stammering in his chest. as soon as your car was out of his line of sight, he looked back down to his watch. his heart rate was elevated beyond average, beating almost twice as fast as it normally did whenever he was just standing about leisurely. he stood there for another moment, drinking the information in before he began to head off in the direction of his car.

as he stepped into his car, the sickly sweet scent of pine invaded his senses as he peeled his training mask off, a message soon appearing across his watch face. “same time tomorrow, lt? — ssgt [name]”

What Do Clothes Look Like in a Climate-Changed Future?

The costume designers behind the new Apple TV+ show “Extrapolations” offer a glimpse into the future of clothing in a warming world.

For decades, costumes meant to depict the future have taken inspiration from the streamlined silhouettes of the space age, and designers like André Courrèges and Paco Rabanne. But the way we dress in the coming years could be shaped more by climate change than life on the moon.

That’s the premise adopted by the costume designers for “Extrapolations,”[1] a new Apple TV+ show premiering on Friday, that explores what life may look like in the next 50 years based on current climate modelling. The show imagines a messy future in which deadly heat waves, sea level rise and species extinction shape our health, relationships and, of course, clothes.

While there are a few futuristic wearable tech moments — including a smartwatch that lets you change eye colour — most of the costuming looks like something you may see today. The costume designers Nancy Steiner (“Lost in Translation,” “Twin Peaks”), Katie Riley (���Prodigal Son”) and Analucia McGorty (“Pose”) sought to create looks familiar enough to communicate that the harsh climate realities depicted in the show may not be far-off.

The designers also tried to reinforce the show’s message: care for the planet matters — and it needs to begin now. All three designers relied heavily on finding clothes in thrift stores over buying brand-new pieces and used them to create looks that feel like they belong in the future. One episode, which features some striking nonbinary corporate looks, was created using vintage Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood.

In the edited conversation below, The Times spoke to Ms. Steiner, Ms. Riley and Ms. McGorty about what sustainability looked like on set and why they think clothes made of 100 percent cotton could be “the diamonds of the future.”

How did you use costuming to tell the climate story of this show?

KATIE RILEY: We knew it shouldn’t look like the Jetsons. We’re not all going to be wearing silver jumpsuits in the future. So how do you make it feel not too costume-y, while being heightened and interesting and relatable, and really driving the story?

NANCY STEINER: The future is everything; it’s not one thing or another. It’s all different types of people. And so I really hate futuristic shows where everybody’s wearing the same spacesuit. We’re not all going to dress exactly the same, ever.

ANALUCIA MCGORTY: Right now, a lot of kids are looking at early 2000s fashion; before that it was the ’90s. Things are going to repeat themselves. The question was: ‘How do we interpret that, for that far in the future, with so many different environmental issues being at the forefront of everybody’s mind?

NS: In one episode, we had a school class of young children, and I designed uniforms that had heat protection because a lot of them had heat sickness. They would have a sensor that lit up when they were reaching their heat limit. Those costumes were meant to protect them and to identify children that were having problems with the heat.

KR: One of my episodes takes place in India, and it’s so hot that it’s illegal to go outside during the day. I was thinking: ‘How does clothing age differently when you’re in such crazy conditions?’ We imagined villagers hanging clothing out during the day and the sun stripping away colour. You see the lines from where it was hanging on the clothesline, all bleached out — little storytelling details like that emphasize how harsh the climate is. We also used recycled bicycle tires on the bottom of shoes, which I’ve seen in Venice and Mexico. It’s about people using what resources they have.

Beyond silhouettes and tech, how did you think about what kinds of textiles and materials will be available in the future?

NS: One of the first things I thought of when I got this job was that cotton fields are going to go away, because the water is going to be gone. Eventually, those natural fibres will probably be too expensive for the common person. I think silk and wool will be very high priced at some point. Plant-derived fabrics might disappear and be replaced by manufactured fabrics.

AM: With Nick [oner of the characters] being so wealthy, we were able to have more “natural” fabrics for him that would not be available for people in a lower economic bracket. It’s as though 100 percent cotton is the diamonds of the future.[2]

How did you source the clothing?

AM: I take the environmental footprint of every production I do costume design for really seriously. I also think it’s important as people who have budgets to spend to be supporting local communities, small businesses, especially women [-owned], wherever we can. I have this massive vendor list of vintage vendors that I try to give a lot of love and attention to.

NS: There were some episodes I designed more for, and some that I didn’t use anything new. It was all used, mostly. I love to rent clothes or use vintage. I like mixing that with new.

KR: Brand-new clothes always look like brand-new clothes, and we spend lots of time and resources making them not look like brand-new clothes[3]. So thrifting is a win ecologically, time-wise and budget-wise. We were so fortunate to have a tremendously talented tailor shop. When you’re building [designing and sewing in-house] you can control your fibres.

What other sustainability efforts were made on set?

KR: We tried to do things locally and did far less shipping than I’ve done in the past. It was also the first time I had a hybrid rental vehicle on a production, and we had scrap recycling in our shop, which I had never had before. On the wardrobe side, we cracked down on dry cleaning, which is a big chemical issue in our business. Ninety-nine percent of things don’t have to be dry cleaned.

AM: This is a big conversation. And it’s not a one-idea fix. But I like that we’re starting to talk about it — even the fact that we’re having this interview and not just talking about fashion, but talking about sustainable fashion, feels different. This is not exactly a sustainable business. But this is the first show [I’ve worked on] that at least is talking about that and trying to make some efforts.

Forging a Path Toward Responsible Fashion

There is no simple answer to diminishing fashion’s role in climate change.

Fashion Week: Fashion weeks are wasteful. But the organizers of Copenhagen Fashion Week are taking steps toward making sustainability a requirement. [4]

Old Cashmere: As it ramps up its sustainability efforts, Ralph Lauren is underwriting a cashmere recycling program. Will consumers use it? [5]

Hand-Me-Downs: To help reduce clothing waste, two mothers in San Antonio started a small business reselling used children’s clothes. [6]

New Fashion Laws: Fashion can’t stop talking about sustainability. Now it may have to put more money where its mouth is,[7] as regulators set their sights on the industry.[8]

 ‘Upcycle Nation’: A fashion competition on Fuse TV asks contestants to reimagine previously used items as wearable designs. [9]

The Pursuit of Zero-Waste: Designers from around the world are drawing inspiration from traditional garment making in their quest to eliminate fabric waste.[10]

For clarification:

The Saddest Little European Spy Who Ever Lived is actually a very critically acclaimed film that you've never heard of but inspired half of all cinema that came after it. Abby sets up a joke about "the nonce train" in the movie that Devon spikes into "yeah, the Lolita Express," which leaves November laughing for 20 seconds straight.

The first episode of "Somehow, The CIA Paid A Pedophile To Run A Pyramid Scheme In Columbia" actually goes over how said pedophile also had some extremely bad ideas about race.

The Scumfuck Chronicles (2004) is a relatively obscure action horror game about a private investigator who uncovers a snuff ring which is actually part of supernatural cult. It sold around 4000 copies in the US and 200 in Japan, instantly bankrupting its developers, but has recently seen increased popularity due to its uniquely grimy style and ahead-of-the-time focus on complicated characters. Noah Caldwell Gervais connects it back to an obscure historical incident that occurred in Ohio in 1897 where a farmer somehow managed to decapitate himself with an awl.

The Idaho Gun & Healing Crystals Rally has actually been running since the nineties, and has only recently gained the QAnon connection. It was, however, always this racist.

In Castle Super Beast: Perfect Parrying Vomit Back Into The Stomach, Pat poorly explains several games to Woolie, as expected, and then delivers a criticism of one so incisive that one can't help but forgive him, but not before making a baffling claim about his ability to avoid vomiting when he was younger which has now "gone away."

The Hobby Tunneling episode of WTYP is exactly what you'd expect, more or less. November makes a lot of House of Leaves jokes.

Almost none of the Soviet soldiers in the Battle of House 22 actually knew the same language, being respectively a Russian, three Estonians, two Kazakhs, a Chechen, a Spanish partisan, an Armenian and a very lost deaf man from Norway. Nonetheless, they managed to coordinate well enough via sign language to wage a ten-man guerilla campaign against the advancing Nazis, with activities ranging from close-range near-suicidal skirmishes with tank divisions to surreptitiously poisoning enemy rations and water.

"Neom's Hardest Geezers" discusses Mohamed bin Salman's newest plans for Neom, specifically with regards to a vaguely eugenic "life extension and study facility" planned in its newest district, alongside a football stadium. Riley extensively points out that all the plans for the facility seem to be based on nothing but the overhyped promises of a Dutch bioscience startup called Klunter en Doensman whose only physical product is a smartwatch called the PisLevenHorloge which measures the minerals and chemical makeup of your urine if you piss on it.

The One Who Stayed CH21

Lucas smiled when he looked at his smartwatch in complete darkness, not only because of the date but also because of the time. He lazily uncovers himself and sits on his bed before taking a good look at the suit perfectly tailored hanging from his door. Without too much insight, he gets up and puts on his usual running shorts, only to hear a camera sound behind him - Did I wake you up, future Mrs. Friar? - he asked without looking at her.

Looking at him standing while he gets dressed, make Maya smile, not only because of how familiar that has been for the last 3 years but also because she knew that he probably knows that she was smiling - Well, today I'm getting married to the sappiest of all men, so, it's not like I had too many reasons to sleep - she replies before feeling his side of the bed sink a bit, seconds before his lips lands on her lips - Are you sure that you want to marry me? - she asks, slowly hiding her eyes from him.

Lucas smiled at her and kissed her again, this time, slowly, deeper, and way more passionate than before - I do, you? - he asks back.

- For a few years - she answers before kissing him, and almost forced him to lay back on the bed.

- Was that a bit of sappiness? - Lucas' asks before chuckling a bit and softly caress the side of Maya's face - Ok, I'm gonna go for a run, then I will stop at the Minkus tower - he says while he intertwined his fingers with her and put a kiss on her ring - You know I will be waiting for you there - he adds before she copies him and kisses the ring she gifted him.

- I hate you for infecting me with sappiness - Maya says before covering herself with the covers, making him laugh.

Lucas finishes getting ready and a few minutes later he stops in front of their room's door - I love you, see you later - he says before walking out.

- Love you too - she replies from under the covers.

  After 45 minutes of running, Lucas stops in front of a Starbucks. Once inside, he waits in line for a few minutes until it was his turn - Yes, good morning - he says to the cashier - I would like a double espresso, a mochaccino venti, 4 donuts, and an egg-bacon sandwich - he says before taking his credit card from his wallet.

He takes the bag with donuts from the cashier and then sits closer to a window while he waits for his order until he was interrupted by a body sitting in front of him - Morning - he says to his best man.

- I hate working in Dubai - Farkle replies - I want to come back to New York - he adds before they both hear an "Order for Lucas".

- Let me feed you - Lucas says before softly laughing at his friend's disgrace. A few seconds later he came back with his sandwich and 2 coffees on hand - espresso and donuts for you - he says before taking a huge bite from his sandwich - Ready for this afternoon? - he asks.

- I'm not getting married - Farkle replies before taking a sip of his double espresso - Are you ready? - he asks back.

- You can bet on it - he jokes.

- I hate you - Farkle replies and shoves a whole donut on his mouth - I get you a gorgeous Italian suit, you're gonna love it - he says while he takes his phone from his pocket - And Isadora, Gods, she's gonna be an amazing mother one day, just look at the dress he gets Lily and Mia - he adds before showing him the pics of the dresses.

Lucas saw the pictures, and even when on the surface, his daughter looks like she's having fun, he's been next to her all her life, and to him, it was pretty obvious that she was doing her best to hold herself.

Farkle looks at him and takes a bite of a donut - Allow me - he says and clears his throat - Your past is not a memory, it's a force at your back - he started, then he takes a sip of his espresso - It pushes and steers, You may not always like where it leads you, but - he continues and stops to eat a piece of donut - Like any story, the past needs resolution, what's past, is prologue - he finishes.

- Wow - Lucas says surprised and a bit relieved by his friend's words - Gabriel Garcia Marquez? - he asks.

- Samus Aran, Metroid Other M - he replies with a snarky smile - Don't worry, she loves you and Maya, she knows you're doing this out of love and nothing else - Farkle says, knowing exactly what his best friend was thinking.

- I lost my appetite - he says, pushing his sandwich to Farkle's side.

- More for me - he says, picking up the rest of the donuts and Lucas' sandwich - Shall we go? - he asks getting up.

- You're already on your feet, so yes - Lucas replies and walks out with his friend in direction to his car - Zay? - he asks then.

- Doing the final touches - Farkle answers - Did you know that he calls you his S.S. Lucaya? - he asks.

Lucas' covers his face, ashamed - Maya? Don't know, me? Since I talk about the beautiful brunette, the genius who's loyal and kind, and of course, the blonde beauty - he answers.

Farkle just laughs at his friend while his driver drives them inside the Minkus Tower.

- Conflicts? - Stuart Minkus asked while he walks with a pair of glasses with whiskey on his hands.

- A bit - Shawn replies before taking the glass Stuart was offering him - Thanks - he adds.

- Don't mention it - the older Minkus replies - By the look of your eye bags, I'm gonna suggest it has nothing to do with the wedding itself, or the people marrying - he says and takes a sip of his glass.

Mimicking his friend, Shawn takes a sip too, letting the liquor soothe his mind - Nothing against you, I'm grateful that you let my daughter marry in your tower, but... - he started, only to be interrupted.

- But you pictured that the one sharing a drink with you at your daughter's wedding would be Cornelious, right? - Stuart asks with a sufficient smile.

- Smartass - Shawn replies with a side smile on his face - I've seen that girl grown from a wonderful girl into a wonderful woman, I help her get her first home, a car she doesn't even use, and also saw her fall for this cowboy, then break herself for him and Riley - he explains.

- Lucas loves her - Stuart defends him.

- I know - Shawn replies - I know - he repeats.

- But you're still having trouble with Maya marrying the ex-husband of your best friend's daughter - Stuart says, reading Shawn's mind before finishing his drink - Trust me, I understand - he adds.

- You say that because of Riley and your son? - Shawn asks.

Stuart smiles at him - Smartass - he replies - I doubt that my son would do something like that, but there is a minimal percent of my brain that says "it might happen" - he adds.

Shawn finishes his drink before patting Stuart's back - I would never believe that you and I would bond about our feeling on our kid's marriages - he says.

- Well, there are infinite universes, probably, in more than one, I should be your Cory - Stuart replies before fixing Shawn's tie - Your daughter is probably having the same conflict, she's marrying her ex-best friend ex-husband, she needs you, now more than ever - he adds before leaving him to deal with his daughter.

- Thanks for the drink Minkus - Shawn says before giving him back the glass and walks towards the room where the bride was getting ready.

  A few minutes later, Shawn softly knocks on the room the lends to the bride, only to see the blonde hair of his wife - Wow, trust me, if I wasn't married, I would ask you to marry me - he jokes while Katy just laughs and kisses him.

- Here to see the bride Mr. Hunter? - Katy asks.

- Here to give her a piece of my mind - Shawn replies, making his wife look at him a bit worried - Don't worry, only good things - he clarifies. Katy smiles and lets Shawn walk-in, just when the hairdresser was finishing Maya's hair - Oh my God - he says looking at his daughter.

- Hi - Maya says looking at him through the mirror.

- Hi - Shawn replies, feeling his eyes a bit watery. He fastly clears his throat to disguise himself, but Maya was able to see those tiny tears - You look even more beautiful - he adds.

- Thanks - Maya replies while she blushes a bit - Stupid Huckleberry and his stupid sensitivity - she says very low.

Minutes later, the hairdresser finishes Maya's hair and with a smile, she left. Shawn takes the chance and looks at the women around him - I'm not trying to impose anything, but I would appreciate a few minutes in private with my wife and daughter - he says, while Isadora and her mother in law walk out the room.

- If you say something wrong, I'm turning Katy into a widow - Jennifer teases Shawn.

Once they were left alone, Shawn looks at hi his wife and daughter - I have a new sense of admiration for Minkus - he says while Maya softly laughs.

- So? - Maya asks turning to face Shawn.

- So - Shawn started - I'm here just to say how grateful I am - he adds before softly hugs Katy - Trust me, I would never imagine I would be in this situation, hell, I never imagined I would be happy to see my daughter in a wedding dress, but you both changed me, for the best - he states before feeling Maya hugging him.

- Thank you for being there - Maya replies while Katy hugs her.

- Didn't I promise you that? - he asks while Katy kisses her daughter's hair.

- We love you, baby girl - Katy softly says.

- Ok, too many emotions, I'm gonna leave you both, I will be waiting outside - Shawn says and left Katy and Maya alone.

Once the door closes behind him, Maya stayed a few minutes hugging her mother - Thank you for always being there - she thanks her mother.

- Thank you for letting me be a part of your life - Katy replies before softly chuckling, and then slowly she notices how the silence reigns on the room - Something wrong baby girl? - Katy asks.

- I was wondering if you have any advice for your daughter? - Maya asks.

Katy smiles at her and kisses her hair again - You already crossed that bridge baby girl, if you care enough to ask for advice, you care enough to make your marriage work - she answers before looking at his daughter right into her eyes - But if you want advice, the best one I can give is that communication is key, but you both already are great at that - she adds before softly petting her daughter's hair, being careful to not ruin her hair.

- I'm getting married - Maya softly says, realizing what it was about to happen.

- You're getting married - Katy says with a chuckle at her daughter's excitement. 

Maya takes a few seconds and lets that feeling sinks a big in her heart - Ok, I'm ready, let's go - she says and takes her mother hand while they both walk out of the room.

In the rooftop of the Minkus Tower, a tiny crowd was gathering and taking their seats, which was the indicator that something big was coming.

- Nervous? - Zay asks Lucas.

- I'm kinda excited - he replies with a huge smile on his face.

- In the sportsmanship way? - Farkle asks.

- No - he simply replies, making his friend show disgust on their faces - It's not my fault my future wife is that hot and that she looks amazing on white - Lucas excuses himself. 

- Gentleman, please - Mark says while walking beside - Today it's my time to shine and use that little minister title I get ages ago - he adds, making Lucas laugh.

A few minutes later, Shawn shows up and gives the thumbs up to Lucas and Mark.

- Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats - Mark says before nodding to the guitarist at his right, guitarist that softly starts to play the chords of Lover by Taylor Swift.

Lucas' smile grows wider when he saw Maya walks to him with Shawn by the arm.

In front of him, Lily wasn't able to suppress her smile, knowing that his father was finally getting better.

- Will a box of 24 donuts be able to help you with that? - Mia asks, softly caressing Lily's hand.

- It's ok, I will be ok, people change people, and in this case, it was always for the best - she replies before looking directly at Maya and smile at her.

Against every norm, Maya separates herself from Shawn and jogs to Lily, and softly hugs her - No matter what happens, I will always love you, you will always be my favorite girl - she softly says to her before looking at Lucas.

Shawn resumes the walk and left Maya with Lucas. He gives him a stare for a few seconds and then smiles - Yeah, she's gonna be ok - he says to Lucas, who only shakes his hand with a huge smile on his face.

At the moment Maya hold hands with him, he just looks at her and kisses her cheek - You took your time - he jokes.

Maya just softly punches his chest - It takes time to look like this - she replies.

- Yeah, right, like you're not gorgeous even with a hungover - Lucas says and laughs.

Mark suddenly clears his throat - May I? - he asks, noticing how his friends didn't want to stop flirting with each other.

- Oh, yeah, I forgot we were getting married - Maya says, teasing Mark - Sure, proceed - she adds.

- Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today in the sight of family and friends, to witness and celebrate the union of this, kinda problematic but really funny, couple - Mark started, making the assistants laugh - Lucas Joseph Friar and Maya Penelope Hunter - he continues while he keeps reading the documents on his table - Any vows or quick wedding? - he jokes again - It's a joke, vows please - he corrects himself after feeling Zay's glare.

Lucas and Maya look at each other - Please, ladies first - Lucas fastly says.

- You beat me for a second - she teases him, making him chuckle - Ok, try to follow this - she adds before taking a tiny piece of paper from her bouquet, and delicately clears her throat - I honestly have no idea how we get here if we count how prone we are to over complicate things and walk in circles around each other, would things be different if I dared to close the distance in Texas, or not end things on our ski trip, probably, but - she says before making a pause and looks at all their friends and family - Look around, you have a daughter, you have new friends, and now I have hope, which is what makes us strong, It is why we are here, It is what we fight with when all else is lost, and I thank you for that - she finalizes.

Lucas softly picks her hands and kissed them - That was beautiful, no way I'm gonna ruin that with a joke - he jokes, making Maya chuckle.

- Idiot - she replies.

- Soon to be your idiot - he whispers to her - Ok, maximum effort - Lucas says and clears his throat - I'm, honest to God, happy, and that's a complicated concept - he started - Because I used to think that life is like a mountain where, in the end, you reach happiness when you get to the top, but it's not like that. Life is the constant chase of happiness, we use certain moments to fuel ourselves to reach the next point and we keep chasing, but with I don't need to chase anymore, I don't need to run anymore, with you, I can take your hand and walk calmly, enjoying the scenery of life, instead of trying to reach a top that doesn't exist - he explains, still holding Maya's hands - I wish not to sound too nerd with this, but you're my Higgs boson, you're that particle that completes my happiness - he adds before giving a look at his daughter - and I thank you for that - he finishes, copying her.

Zay leans towards Farkle - Did Maya win? - he asks.

Farkle just smiles without looking at his friend - Yeah, she quoted God of War 3 - he replies.

Mark clears his throat, and his voice stills break a bit - Ma-ya, dammit - he says and clears his throat again - Do you, Maya Penelope, take Lucas Joseph to have and hold until death do you part? - he asks Maya.

Maya moves her left hand to her back, and Isadora puts a golden ring on her hand - I do - she answers and slowly slides the ring in his ring finger.

- Do you, Lucas Joseph, take Maya Penelope to have and to hold until death do you part? - Mark asks Lucas.

Lucas softly turn - Ring? - he asks Farkle.

- Here - he replies and puts the ring on Lucas' hand.

- Thank you, sir - he replies - I do - he finally answers to Mark, sliding a twin ring on Maya's ring finger.

- Then by the power bestowed upon me by evenyoucanperformweddings.com and by the state of New York, I now pronounce you, Husband and Wife, you may kiss the bride - Mark says with a smile - Or backward, it's not 2011 - he adds.

Lucas just smiles at Maya and she pulls him by his tie to kiss him deeply, while their friends and family cheer for them.

They spend a good 6 hours in the Minkus apartment with a nice reception, courtesy of Stuart Minkus, who turn out a genius to plan receptions too.

It was 1 A.M. when Maya finally allows herself to get rid of the heels she has been wearing all-day.

Lucas picks her up and carries her like his bride to their room, and once they were there, he softly put her on the bed - You're gonna use the bathroom first? - he asks.

- Yep, my hair is gorgeous, but I had no idea flowers were that heavy once you carry them on your head - she says putting a fast peck on Lucas' lips.

- Well, I'll be here when you're back Mrs. Friarhunter - he softly says.

- Great, because being alone on the first night doesn't sound too good - she jokes before entering the bathroom.

Lucas fastly looks at the suit he left on his closet last morning - 2 months of practice for this moment Friar, make yourself and Zay proud - he softly says to himself before starting changing his suit.

Once Maya walks out of the bathroom, she was surprised by her husband - Did you change suits? - she asks.

Lucas smile and walks barefoot to her - Yeah, I did - he says and kisses her - I know that you refuse the first dance because of respect for Riley and Lily - he softly says before softly sliding one of his hands into the pocket of his jacket - But right here, it's only us, he says looking for a song on Spotify - Can I have this dance? - he asks, offering one of his Airpods.

Maya didn't say a word, she just takes the Airpod and put it on her ear, and Lucas did the same.

I took her half a second to notice the song - Sap - she softly says while Lucas gently sways with her.

- Perfect - he replies, pressing himself against her.

And that's all.

After 62266 words, and 101 Microsoft Word pages in Calibri Light 10.

The End.

Now, if I'm allowed, I would like to say a few words, after refusing to write any writer commentary after every chapter since July 16, 2018.

I want to say that I'm grateful for the people who take the time to read this, I honestly only have grateful feelings for all of you who take a piece of your time to read what I write on mine.

Also, in a twist of Neil Gaiman's words.

"I hope you all enjoyed the most honest lie I was able to write for you"

Ok, one last time.

Thank you all.

Also, for those, who are wondering what's the song Lucas search on Spotify, it is “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran.

AI Software for Law Firms: Top 12 Productivity Picks - Legal Reader

https://frankgiunta.com/ai-software-for-law-firms-top-12-productivity-picks-legal-reader/

AI Software for Law Firms: Top 12 Productivity Picks - Legal Reader

Being able to sign documents remotely is also extremely useful, and saves a lot of time. What is one AI tool for law firms to increase productivity? To help law firms and professionals increase their productivity using AI software, we asked legal professionals and tech experts this question for their AI software of choice. From Google Assistant to eDiscovery, there are several intuitive softwares that may help you increase your productivity.  Here are 11 AI softwares for law firms to boost their productivity:  Google Assistant Adobe E-sign HyperWrite Luminance PCLaw Semantic Search ROSS Intelligence Alexei AI Memo Generator  Jasper.ai CARA AI eDiscovery Google Assistant An AI assistant such as Google Assistant, can make a positive difference in productivity at your law firm. It’s available on a wide variety of devices, including smartphones and smartwatches. With Google Assistant, you can schedule meetings and depositions faster and without hassle. Not to mention, with its voice typing features, your dictation gets a real boost, helping you stay on top of emails and take notes with ease. It’s all around an easy-to-use productivity tool that’s perfect for law firms. Court Will, Will & Will Adobe E-sign The best choice of tools for speeding up legal activities and avoiding human error are e-signatures. Attorneys and their clients can also avoid using documents, resulting in less paper wastage and ink. Being able to sign documents remotely is also extremely useful, and saves a lot of time. Amit Raj, The Links Guy HyperWrite AI content writers exist that sound like people. For instance, AI content writing tools now use tone. By using AI content writer tools in a law firm, the lawyers are free to spend time on a more desirable task like generating new business and helping clients. An experienced attorney is needed on these activities that increase yearly income. There are many AI content writers you can use. HyperWrite is an AI content writing tool that I can recommend from personal experience.  Janice Wald, Mostly Blogging Luminance Luminance can be a gamechanger for law firms looking for the perfect document review software. It effortlessly highlights important clauses within contracts and even points out words that could be a possible cause of conflict in the future, while suggesting suitable alternatives in its place, speeding up the process quite drastically. Riley Beam, Douglas R. Beam, P.A. Luminance is a fantastic tool that has helped over 300 law firms perform thorough due diligence more quickly than ever, thanks to its AI system that understands language as well as a human. We’ve used the tool to get immediate overviews of companies to spot potential issues that could affect contracts, business mergers, property portfolios, eDiscovery, and more. It’s a massive time saver that works well to give us peace of mind as we navigate deals. David Aylor, David Aylor Law Offices PCLaw Tech-powered solutions are the way forward since the pandemic has resulted in a shift to cut costs. An efficient AI-powered accounting system provides legal practices with a complete money management solution. With features including expense tracking, liability examination, and trust management, there are powerful tools available. For example, PCLaw. Saskia Ketz, Mojomox Semantic Search While in discovery, law firms can use semantic search tools to find similar, but differently worded, data, conversations, and legal codes faster. In doing so, law firms can reduce the time spent on research and produce more consistent results. Matthew Ramirez, Rephrasely ROSS Intelligence

Machine learning; image by Salvatore P, via Pexels, CC0.There are several AI tools for law firms to increase productivity. One popular tool is ROSS, which is an artificially intelligent legal research assistant that can help lawyers find answers to legal questions and research cases. Other AI tools for law firms include contract analysis tools, which can help review and summarize contracts, and predictive analytics tools, which can help predict outcomes in court proceedings. Natalia Brzezinska, PhotoAiD Alexei AI Memo Generator One AI tool for law firms to increase productivity is a legal memo generator such as Alexei. A legal memo generator is a computer program that takes a set of facts and produces a memorandum of law based on those facts. This can be helpful for lawyers because it automates the process of creating a legal memo. It also helps to ensure accuracy and consistency in memos, since the software will follow a set template. Additionally, it can help lawyers to find case law and other authorities more quickly and efficiently. Claire Westbrook, LSAT Prep Hero Jasper.ai Jasper.ai is an AI-powered writing tool that helps greatly with content creation. You can amplify your content marketing efforts and expedite the process of creating various documents by utilizing a subscription to this tool. It works a lot better than you might think and even comes with a built-in plagiarism checker if you’re concerned about the AI’s output. Rest assured—this is truly an innovation for writers. Stewart Guss, Stewart J. Guss CARA AI CARA A.I. (Case Analysis Research Assistant) helps you find the most on-point authorities quickly and efficiently. Using this tool saves hours of research time and finds you tailored results. Based on what it knows about your matter, CARA A.I. searches Casetext’s database for the most relevant results, then recommends relevant cases, statutes, briefs, black letter law, and more. Mark Pierce, Cloud Peak Law Group eDiscovery We’re a law firm that emphasizes diversity, so we have to ask ourselves what role does diversity play when it comes to artificial intelligence? For instance, AI is often used in security technology. A surveillance camera may use AI to analyze people’s movements and that can open the door for racial bias. Many of our clients have been wronged in some fashion by racial discrimination and whatever AI technology we incorporate must not violate our own commitment to diversity and inclusion. As for the benefits of AI in law, the first example that comes to mind is eDiscovery, a software that allows for scads of documents to be scanned, reviewed and submitted in only a fraction of the time compared to the old-fashioned way of having teams of lawyers and paralegals review the hard copies. Filings can be done faster and more accurately through the assistance of AI and that increases lawyer productivity.
