“I sure do,” said Trudi, “You may not be an actor, but you’ve had quite a number of roles in such a short period. Time traveller one day, boyfriend that night, and main course the following night. It’s a shame I can’t put you up for an Oscar nomination. Unfortunately, they don’t present them to candidates who have taken up residence as part of another star’s stomach.”

“We shared all that adventure together in the other timeline, and then I came back and saved you. If it weren’t for me, you would have been eaten yourself,” said Murray.

“Well I won’t go through that portal now. So there’s no risk of that happening. You’ve given me the dining opportunity of a lifetime, and I can’t see any reason for me to turn it down. Can you?” she said.

“Only the fact that it’s so unfair to me,” said Murray.

“Well you can’t complain too much. After all, you’ve had a rare night of passionate snuggling and kisses with me, and you had the chance to enjoy it without having to think and worry about being eaten a day later, since I only decided to do that after I woke up this morning. Being gobbled whole doesn’t take very long, and you won’t be facing two years of captivity after that. I can’t believe that giantess did that to you and other me, and I won’t be doing that to you. You can rest assured that you’ll be in my stomach by the end of today,” said Trudi.

“Oh thanks!” said Murray, “I feel so priveleged to be the beneficiary of such kindness and consideration.”

“There’s no point in behaving like that,” said Trudi, matter of factly, “It won’t get you out of this situation. I’ve got the commencement of another romance in eight years time to look forward to and the culinary conclusion of this one to enjoy today. You’ll just have to face your fate and try to spare a moment to stop and think of the enjoyment that it will be giving me.”

“I ... just remembered the way you stuck out your tongue in one of the scenes in that Easter Special,” said Murray, “It wasn’t that close to the camera, but it looked exciting nonetheless.”

“Well there you go. You’ll have a much closer view of it tonight, won’t you? I’ll try to make it as exciting for you as possible.”

“I’m sure you won’t disappoint me in that,” said Murray, and noticed that she was staring at him with a look of admiration.

“I think I know why I fell for you for one night,” said Trudi, “Visually and physically, you look like a shrunken 14 year old boy. But it’s the way you talk. It sounds so mature and romantic. I guess I hadn’t fully taken in all the ramifications of your 29 year old mind and all its memories of my 37-39 year old self being contained within that 14 year old body of yours. You made me feel very special in a way that no amount of fame and screen time could ever have done.”
