I didn’t say anything, simply stepping forward and wrapping my arms around his waist. “I just can’t sleep.”

Benjamin pulled me closer. “Don’t overthink it.”

We stood there, wrapped in each other’s arms, and in that moment, Hera stirred joyfully within me.

A sense of calm washed over me, and I absentmindedly stroked his hand, saying, “I’m so glad to have you.”

Benjamin rested his chin on my head, his voice soft. “I feel the same way. I’m so glad to have you.”

“Didn’t we plan on having some food after I took a nap? I’ll call the supermarket and have them send over the ingredients.”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised, and asked, “So, are you saying you’re planning to cook yourself? Do you know how to cook?”

I grinned mischievously. “I think it’s time you got a taste of my cooking. But let me warn you in advance, if it doesn’t taste good, you can’t complain.

Benjamin chuckled. “Deal.”

With a smile, I happily called the supermarket, and within half an hour, they delivered all the ingredients I needed.

Just as I was about to get to work, Benjamin quietly put on an apron.

“W–what are you doing?” I looked at him in confusion.

Without hesitation, Benjamin took the ingredients from my hands and said, “I’ll take care of it. You should go relax.”

“But I was the one who said I’d make it.”
