Chapter Seven

“Do you need a refill?” Wyatt asked. He carefully carried two plates piled high with spaghetti toward the table, where Juno was sitting.

“No thanks. I’m still good,” Juno said, glancing over at him for just a moment before glancing back out the window. She had a faraway look in her eyes, and it took her a moment to even notice that Wyatt had put food down.

“Oh wow,” she said when she finally turned back and saw the plates. “This is way better than a meal replacement bar.”

Wyatt had scrounged around his stash of food to find the best meal he could come up with. Spaghetti was kind of boring, true. But he did have a decent selection of pasta sauce, and the one he had chosen was a Cabernet infused red sauce. It smelled amazing, and he hoped it tasted amazing, too. He would’ve loved to add meat to the meal, but fresh meat was a thing of the past right now. He would have killed for a steak dinner, but it wasn’t happening anytime soon. In fact, he didn’t really know if it would ever happen again, the way the world was falling apart. But he didn’t want to focus on the negatives right now. He wanted to focus on the fact that he at least had a beautiful woman sitting here with him. A beautiful woman whom he hoped he would be able to impress just a little bit with his attempt at dinner.

“So, you were a scientist before everything fell apart?” Wyatt prompted. He wanted to learn everything he could about Juno.

Juno nodded. “Yeah, I was getting my PhD in biology, actually. Right outside of Chicago. I worked at a lab as a research assistant. Ironically enough, I was assigned to work on the shifter scanners when they were still in development. I love science, and I loved my life here in the city. But I don’t think I’ll ever live here again, even if things turn around for the better. Chicago will never be the same, you know?”

“Yeah, I know what you mean,” Wyatt said. “I’ve lived here for a while, too, and it’s sad to see how the city has fallen apart.”

“What did you do here?” Juno asked “It’s a shame I never met you before the shifter scanners arrived.”

Wyatt smiled, and nodded in agreement. He would have loved to have met Juno in happier times, but he tried not to dwell on that, and to instead be happy that at least he had met her now.

“I did a lot of odd jobs,” Wyatt said. “A lot of construction in the summer. In the winter, I would help plow snow. Or, if I was feeling really ambitious, I would go up to Wisconsin and work as a ski instructor. I taught a lot of kids to ski up there. I did some other stuff here in the city, too. Washed windows, worked as a painter…mostly physical labor. I guess that probably sounds silly to someone who was going for her PhD, but I just have never been able to sit still.
