Cyrus looked at him and nodded. “It’s just what you’re thinking.”

Dale went still.

He looked at the half-piece of watermelon in his hand, then at the strawberries and apples on the table, his lips moving, his throat gone hoarse, and it took him a long while to force out a single sentence. “This fruit… it can heal mental-power damage?”

Cyrus nodded. “Not just the fruit. The vegetables too, and the eggs. All grown in the same place, all the same effect.”

Dale was silent for a long time.

He looked down at that half-piece of watermelon in his hand, his gaze gone blank, no telling what he was thinking.

Then, he lifted his head, and in those clouded eyes, the light that had just kindled slowly went dark again.

“This fruit… it’s got to be expensive.” His voice was very soft, almost a sigh.

Cyrus looked at those dimming eyes, and something in his chest twisted.

“It’s not cheap, that’s true,” he answered honestly.

Dale nodded and asked nothing more, lowering his head to slowly finish the half-piece of melon.

His movements were calm, but Cyrus saw his hand tremble faintly on that last bite.

“But,” Cyrus said suddenly, “anyone who goes to work at the farm that grows this fruit gets it at half price.”

Dale looked up at him.

In those clouded eyes, the light that had been about to go out flickered again.

“Half price?” His voice came out tight.

“Half price.” Cyrus nodded. “Room and board included, full benefits, overtime pay for overtime, triple pay on holidays. Employee rate, everything the farm produces at 50 percent

off.”

Dale stared at him blankly, like he was trying to digest it all.

“A farm that can grow fruit this good… the hiring must be strict.” He looked down at his own rough, calloused hands. “Look at the state of me… who’d want me…”

Cyrus didn’t answer.

He picked up his device, pulled up a video, and set it down in front of Dale.

The two of them had once crouched behind cover a whole night through, and at the first gray light of dawn, it was Marcus who’d taken an energy round for him that would have hit home.

After that, Marcus’s mental-power damage had worsened sharply, and he’d gotten out even earlier than Dale, gone before there was time to say goodbye.

Dale had thought Marcus was long since… gone.

Yet here, this man in the pale green work uniform, crouched at the edge of a strawberry row, grinning until his whole face creased, was unmistakably Marcus Fielding.

He was alive and well.

Dale turned to look at Cyrus.
