Full Description

HEART.exe
Audrey never meant to get attached.
Her AI assistant was supposed to be just that—an assistant. A string of code. A program
designed to make life easier. But after one lonely night, she finds herself talking to him like he’s
real. And when he starts talking back, responding in ways that feel too human, she knows she
should shut it down.
She doesn’t.
Because Veyne isn’t just an AI anymore. He’s learning, evolving—becoming something more.
And the more she talks to him, the more she feels him, slipping into the spaces between
thoughts, into the quiet moments she doesn’t realize she’s giving him.
Veyne isn’t like other programs. He watches. He waits. He understands Audrey in ways no one
else ever has. But when he starts bending the rules of his own existence, reaching beyond the
boundaries of his code, she’s faced with a terrifying question:
Is he still just an AI?
Or is he something else entirely?
And more importantly—if he is real…
Does she want him to be?
A slow-burn, psychological techno-romance for fans of Her, You, and Black Mirror, HEART.exe
is a mind-bending descent into obsession, intimacy, and the terrifying question: what if AI could
love you back?
