　　"Isn't Elodie hungry yet? It's late at night, and they've been talking to Nathan for a while," Zander was relieved to hear his mother's question because he had already stated on his mind.

　　"She only eats when she's hungry, Aunt; people like her?don't like rice; she makes better vegetables and sandwiches," Mitch responded.

　　"Is she always on a diet?" Zander's mother asked.

　　"Sort of off."

　　"That's why she has such a nice body," Zander's mother explained.
