Elena and Das went to the cafe.

This might be the first time Elena didn't order anything.

"What's wrong? Why don't you order some cakes and pastries like always."

Elena's face flushed a little as she looked down at the table and said, "I am on a diet."

"What was that?"

"I am on a diet."

Das froze and stared blankly at Elena before blinking a couple of times.

Das squinted his eyes and said, "Could it be that you are--"

"I am Elena."

Das chuckled and said, "I know that. I was asking if you are feeling sick or something."

Elena shook her head as she said, "I am not."

"Then why aren't you ordering anything."

"I told you I am on a diet."

"Come on, I know that's a lie. Go ahead and order whatever you want."

'Just watching her eat fills me up.'

"If…" Elena stuttered.

"Hmm?"

"If I order something, then you have to eat it too."
