Glancing up, she saw that he'd scooped out a spoonful of chili and was carrying it carefully over to her,

his free hand cupped under it in case of drips.

Lissianna had helped him make the chili, chopping the onions and mushrooms while he fried the meat.

She'd also kept him company while he hovered over the pot, lovingly stirring and spicing it. The aromas

that had been pouring from the pot for the last hour were delicious, but then the food her coworker

Debbie brought in to work often smelled good, too, but didn't raise any hunger in her.

"I don't—" she began uncertainly.

"Come on," he coaxed. "One bite."

Lissianna gave in and reached for the spoon, but Greg tugged it out of range and shook his head. "Open

up."

She let her hand drop and dutifully opened her mouth, terribly aware of his eyes on her as he slid the

spoon between her lips. She closed her mouth, taking the food in as he drew the spoon out again.

Lissianna let it sit on her tongue for a moment, enjoying the explosion of flavors before chewing and

swallowing.

"What do you think?" Greg asked.

Lissianna smiled, and admitted, "It's good."

"There, you see." He was obviously pleased with himself and gave a shake of the head as he turned to

move back to his pot. "Food… boring!" He gave a little laugh. "Not likely."

Lissianna watched him with a smile. "You wouldn't say that if you'd eaten everything at least a hundred

times. It becomes a chore rather than a pleasure."

"Never," Greg protested with certainty, then asked, "Hey, do you people have to worry about your

weight while you're still eating food?"

"No. The nanos would destroy any extra fat. They keep you at your ultimate fitness level."

"Damn." Greg shook his head again. "Live forever, stay young, and never worry about your weight?" He

marveled. "Damn."

"Here you are." Marguerite Argeneau breezed into the room on a wave of energy, startling them both.

She looked rested from her sleep and had obviously just fed; she was flush with color and beaming

brightly as she glanced from one to the other. "So, how is the first therapy session going? Are you cured

yet?"

Lissianna and Greg exchanged a guilty glance.
