With a nonchalant air, Jason replied, “Can’t I come over for a meal?”

Estrella propped herself up on her elbows and chuckled, “It’s just that you haven’t come by in the past couple of years, so forgive me for being a bit flustered.”

Jason gazed at Estrella intently. Though she was smiling, something seemed off to him.

From the couch, Jason glanced at Estrella, sensing that something was amiss. They were both absorbed in their tasks until Autumn knocked and called them down for dinner.

“Jason, it’s so rare for you to visit. Please, help yourself to more,” Autumn offered warmly, making Jason feel somewhat uncomfortable.
