Chapter 15
"Vince, you have to eat something." Naboo pushes a plate of food towards me.
"No, I don't." I push it away again.
"Yes, you do. Just eat. It's not difficult."
"Yes it is."
"Come on Vince." He coaxes. "A few bites, that's all. It's nothing!" I try to argue, but he interrupts me. "Go on. Just one tiny bite." His voice sounds like he's trying to tame a wild animal.
I scrape my teeth against some carrot, pulling a tiny piece off. I chew is for what feels like ages. "Come on. Swallow." He commands, his voice still gentle. I obey, feeling sick as I do. "There. That wasn't too hard, was it?"
"Yes it was." I mumble.
"Still, at least you ate. You're making progress."
