Estrella gave up arguing with him, not wanting to waste any more time. She simply let him join her on her rounds.

Estrella, chuckling softly, responded, “I’ve got an early start tomorrow, and I can’t afford to be late for the meeting, but I’ll swing by again after.”

The girl expressed her gratitude, “Ms. Estrella, thank you so much for all you do for us.”
