At the other end of the hallway, Estrella noticed Jason frozen in his tracks, his face a canvas of surprise. She quickly composed herself and walked towards him at a

measured pace.

When she stopped in front of him, she greeted him with ease, “Long time no see, Jason.” Long time, indeed. It had been so long that she had nearly forgotten him, unable to recall

Jason finally snapped out of his daze at Estrella’s greeting, “You’re back?” he asked, quickly adding, “When did you get back?”

“A few days ago,” she replied.
