"Here," Edgar held out his fork with bits and pieces of food for Alessandra to eat.
Alessandra stared at the fork then backed up at Edgar. "We ordered the same thing. There's no need for me to eat from your fork."
"The difference is you have eaten all of your food already while my plate is still halfway. Take it," he pushed his plate towards her.
"No, you need to eat too," Alessandra pushed the plate back towards him. It wasn't like Edgar ate more food than her today for him to not be hungry.
"Alessandra, you're not going to win this game against me. Eat it," Edgar pushed back the plate. "There is still a long way for us to go to fatten you up."
"Why does this sound like a wolf talking to the pig he wishes to eat?" Alessandra muttered. "You cannot force me to eat this, Edgar."
Edgar leaned back in his chair and folded his arms. "Then feed me," he said.
