Are there any apocryphal writings on the apparent gap between Verses 4 and 5 of John 2?

We see in John 2:3-5, a prelude to the Miracle at Cana:
>**3** When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” **4** And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.” **5** His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.
See that in Verse 4, Jesus declines to get involved. Then, in Verse 5, Mary tells the servants to follow Jesus' instructions. Apparently, there is a gap between the two verses. Did Jesus say something like: "OK, OK...Mother, just because you are pressuring me to re-set my time, I will do something about it"? Or, did Mary say something like "See the plight of the host, my son; how will he face the guests? I know you will do something from your side?" However, John does not give a narrative of what went in between the communications in Verses 4 and 5.
Are there any apocryphal writings on the apparent gap between Verses 4 and 5 of John 2?
