Bernard had been in the hospital for two weeks, with Eleanor sticking by his side the whole time, eating and sleeping just like old times.
The thing is, Bernard's a bit of a clean freak. Even when the doctor warned him not to move around too much, he just wouldn't listen, insisting on keeping himself squeaky clean.
Every time Bernard came out of the bathroom, he'd only be wrapped in a towel, showing off his rock-hard abs and strutting around in front of Eleanor with no shame.
Eleanor couldn't help but think he wasn't bathing so much because of his cleanliness obsession, but rather, he was trying to tempt her...
Especially at night, he'd lose all control, passionately kissing her.
It’s a special kind of restraint, yet still respecting her wishes...
The day before he was discharged, he just couldn't hold back anymore. He grabbed Eleanor, pressing her against the wall, nipping at her lips, and pleading over and over again:
"Eleanor, I want you. Can I have you, huh?"
Eleanor blushed, trying to talk him down, "The doctor said, no strenuous activity..."
Bernard nuzzled her neck, "I'll be gentle, I promise, okay?"
Eleanor looked into his eyes, filled with raw desire, and after a moment of hesitating, she nodded.
