Arnold Johnson let Victoria Garcia go, affectionately touching her face and said, "You've had a day full of thrills and exhaustion. Have you eaten anything at all?"

Victoria responded with a smile, "Hmm, I ate a bit, the hospital meal, but I was in no mood to eat at the time, so the food tasted bland. I didn't eat much."

As far as Arnold was concerned, she might as well have not eaten.

"I'll take you to eat something first, then I'll take you home so you can have a nice bath and get some sleep. How does that sound?" His tone was gentle and solicitous, like he was coddling a child.

Victoria nodded, "I've been scared all day, and it's really drained me. I feel like eating something rich in flavour to replenish my energy."

"Well, what do you want to eat?" Arnold probed.

"I don't know what I want to eat; you choose something for me?" Victoria was genuinely at a loss.
