"Blech. This is nasty"

"Drink it or you'll feel like shit tomorrow."

"That's what Naomi said and I felt like shit anyway."

"Just drink it."

I put dishes away. I rinsed our bottles. I looked over the sink towards where the Tamster sat. I watched her take a sip. A small sip.

"We're supposed to do this twenty minutes after the ride. At this rate it'll take you an hour. C'mon, chug, chug, chug."

"Just leave me alone."

I think the problem is the Endurox R4 resembles one of her favorite things in the world: chocolate. It is brown like chocolate. It is sweet like chocolate. But it's watered down rather than creamy. And it has little sour chunks all around, probably whey. Next time we'll try the vanilla flavor. I refuse to try fruit punch.
