{I have just peeled an orange and begin to eat it.}
Bryce: I can’t eat oranges anymore. The last orange I had was dry and it has ruined it for me.
Me: I know. A dry orange is hard to get over. I have a hard time buying them again after I get a dry batch. But, {holding a section out to him} this one is juicy, see? Do you want a bite?
Bryce: {considers for a moment…} No. I’m not ready to love again.*
