Jason finally broke through his last line of resistance and made a decision that turned him into a much more affectionate person. It was like he was trying to make up for the two years they had lost.
Estrella couldn't resist his charms, so she let him shower her with kisses and hugs for a while longer.
When Jason finally let go, Estrella gently cupped his face with both hands, gave him one last kiss, and said, "That's it for now. You better get going."
"You go in first," he replied.
Estrella stepped back, turned, and walked into the house.
Watching her disappear inside, Jason finally got into his car. Driving with the window down, his right hand on the steering wheel and his left arm resting on the open window, he couldn't help but hum a tune, feeling completely content. "Making decisions is hard," he thought, "but once you make them, everything else just falls into place."

The Dorvold household was buzzing with anticipation.
As soon as Estrella stepped inside, Autumn was on her, asking, "Did Jason leave?" and "What were you two talking about for so long?"
Autumn's hope for their reconciliation was as clear as day.
"We talked about taking Isaac to Sandalwood Oasis for a bit," Estrella shared.
Autumn's face lit up. "Oh, that's perfect! If staying here feels a bit cramped, heading back to Sandalwood Oasis is a great idea. Even if you decide not to take Isaac, a little getaway for you two could do wonders. I can look after Isaac here; we'll have our own little adventures."
Estrella couldn't help but chuckle at Autumn's not-so-subtle hinting. "And why would living here be inconvenient? It's always been fine before."
Autumn pressed on, "Exactly, it's always been 'fine'. But honey, I've been in your shoes. Trust me, I understand."
Estrella tried to keep a straight face. "Oh? And what exactly do you understand, Autumn? Do share your wisdom."
