rejection struck Jason like a blow, reducing him to silence as he continued to watch Estrella. His hand was still clasping hers, but rather than pull away, Estrella merely gazed back at him. “Jason, all these years have passed…and when I made the decision to leave then, I didn’t consider a future with you again. “Besides clearing
