She nudged Jason toward the bathroom. With a boyish grin, Jason cupped Estrella’s face in his hands and planted a quick kiss on her lips. “Honey, just wait for me, okay?

Estrella stood in the bedroom, arms crossed, a bemused smile playing on her lips as she watched his swaggering exit.

What a character! An entire evening of antics, all for what? Just to end up in bed with her.

Jason paused mid-dry, then approached Estrella and gently nudged her dangling foot. “Estrella,” he called softly.

Jason felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him-chilled to the core.
