Seeing how serious he was being, Hera was afraid that Bernard would keep going on about it. She hurriedly appeased him by saying, "Yes, yes. Whatever you say goes." Her words to appease him did not upset him. Instead, that gave him a chance. "Does that mean you've agreed that we can try for a baby?" Before Hera could even object, he already kissed her.
The next morning, Hera was awakened by a pang of hunger. The moment she moved, she felt sore everywhere, as if a bus had run over her. Bernard must have used all the energy he did not exert during his trip last night.
She recalled how she kept saying no toward the end of the night, but Bernard did not let her go at all. That made her feel slightly angry.
Bernard was truly going overboard these days. He never would have done this in the past.
Hera's stomach rumbled again. She was about to push away Bernard's arms around her so that she could get out of bed. But he already heard her stomach grumbling. "Do you want steak or pasta? I'll go and cook for you." "I want hummingbird cake," Hera said.
"What's that?" Bernard checked it online and found that it was a Southern delicacy. He had no idea how to make it.
He asked the restaurants nearby, but they did not serve it. Thus, he could only arrange for it to be shipped by plane.
"There's no hummingbird cake here. I'll prepare spasta for you to tide things over." Hera turned over to give him silent treatment so that he would get the message. That left Bernard silent.
