Jason leaned in, his face inches from hers, but Estrella was quick to pinch his jaw. “Jason,” she chided, her tone teasing yet firm, “you’re getting shameless by the minute.”

As they entered the department store, Jason drove back to the office, his heart lighter than usual after the playful exchange.
