Dave added, "I like yours better; it was tender and delicious." His alluring voice, coupled with his words, carried a suggestive tone that made Hera’s face flush.
She couldn’t bring herself to lift her gaze, not wanting to meet the waiter’s eyes. She was right to feel that way—everyone who heard his comment assumed Dave was speaking about her in an intimate context.
Even the waiter felt his throat go dry. He couldn’t handle the moment; he lacked experience dealing with people of such extraordinary backgrounds and godlike appearances.
They seemed like immortals among mortals, stepping into his world for a fleeting moment.
However, hearing their suggestive conversation was a completely different experience, and his thoughts began to wander.
He couldn’t bring himself to look at Hera; he didn’t want his mind to drift toward lustful thoughts about the woman sitting next to him—it felt profoundly unprofessional.
She also noticed that the waiter was doing his best to pretend he hadn’t heard anything, which meant a lot to her. Meanwhile, the person who started it all saw nothing wrong with his words; he simply believed Hera’s food would taste better because it came from her.
He looked up at Hera with smiling eyes, savoring the food. Hera’s lips twitched as she fought to maintain her smile, but the atmosphere remained awkward—only Dave seemed unaffected.
Rather than dwell on her embarrassment, she decided it was best to let it go; Dave didn’t appear to mean anything inappropriate by his words.
Hera sighed and began to eat as well. Soon, their dessert arrived: a stunning creation resembling a small tree trunk resting on moss-covered soil, adorned with candied rabbits and a bird’s nest at the center.
Delicate mushrooms and flowers surrounded the arrangement, evoking the whimsical theme of Alice in Wonderland. It was truly beautiful.
