"No."
"Just a little bite."
"No."
"Come on, Carrots, I tried it your way."
"No."
Nick picked up his last slice of the half-carrot, half-blueberry pizza he had ordered for lunch with Judy. "You know what?" he said as he took a large, delicious bite. "You refuse because you're afraid you might like it. I used to think you were so brave."
Nick went for another bite, but his teeth closed on air.
"Give me that!" Judy said as she snatched the slice, sending several blueberries flying. She took a bite.
And then another. And another. And another.
Nick smiled.
