Stepping from the embrace, she smoothly extracts the broom from my grip. “No more of this. Take it easy until closing. I’ll set the bots to roam.” She slips through the beaded curtain to the kitchen, presumable to hang up her apron and apply a sweep of cherry gloss across her lips. A few minutes later, I’m met with the steady drone of the dust bots as they awaken and shift listlessly through the curtain. They’re old models, mid-twenty-second century, that TingTing bought at a junk auction last fall and restored by watching instructional videos on the Net. One bumps into my toe before careening off into a cake stand. We usually don’t take them out. TingTing’s parents, Ms. Chen and Auntie, are traditionalists and prefer lowTech amenities. Still, it’s a constant war these days against the dust that sweeps across the city limits, piling worst in dead ends and cul-de-sacs, like the one that shelters The Alchemy of Dreams.
