Estrella glanced at him, the discomfort of her monthly visitor painting her mood in shades of grey. “Aunt Flo’s in town, not exactly feeling chipper.”

Jason couldn’t help but chuckle. “Hang in there, and it’ll pass in a few days. I’ll make it up to you, with interest.”

His nonchalant demeanor hung in the air as Estrella simply watched him, words unspoken. Their eyes locked for a moment before Estrella, half-squinting, probed, “Jason, is there something you’re keeping from me?”

Secrets and undisclosed truths were woven into the fabric of their relationship.

At his response, Estrella fell silent. What more could she pry from him if he’d already laid his cards on the table? It was better to dig up the dirt herself.

Jason turned to find Estrella turned away, silent. “Not hungry?” he asked.

With the back of her head to him, she replied, “No appetite.”

Truth be told, it was her spirits that were low. She thought she might’ve been pregnant, but a test dashed that hope, leaving her feeling as though she’d slept through the past days for naught.
