He looked at her for a moment as he re-filled his glass and then hers, "Do give it time. That special someone will show up. You're an attractive woman, Senorita. A lot of men would jump at the chance to be with you."
He thought a moment, holding his glass on the table, "You know, we've gone through family, kids, history and who knows what else. What I haven't told you is what I have in mind to try and treat you with. Have you ever heard of Nanites?"
He took a sip. Putting the glass down, he put up a hand, "please just never ask where I got them."
