Chapter 145

Estrella leaned her elbow on the car window, cradling her face in her hand, and replied to Jason with a lack of energy, “Just thinking about nothing.”

There was still a chasm between her and Jason, an invisible wall that no amount of glossing over the uncomfortable truths could mask. They could never truly return to the way things were before.

Jason had never brought up the past, and Estrella didn’t want to either. Besides, bringing up Jason’s former flame-especially one who had passed away-wasn’t the wisest move she could make. It would only diminish her worth in his eyes and elevate Holly’s importance in his heart, nudging him back into the arms of bygone memories.

“We’ll eat later,” Jason said.

Estrella was clearly upset, and Jason noticed it. But then, if she had taken him to Korey’s place, he wouldn’t be thrilled either.
