Estrella said, “Stop fooling around.”

Jason had always dreamed of a cozy family life with Estrella and their little one. So, even without her explicit consent, Jason had brought them back to their home in Waterfall Acres.

After tucking Isaac into bed for a nap, Jason tied on an apron and got down to business in the kitchen. Estrella, leaning against the doorframe with an apple in hand, couldn’t help but watch, amused by the domestic scene. He filleted the fish with the skill of a seasoned chef and chopped the veggies with equal dexterity.

Three years ago, Estrella knew Jason could handle himself in the kitchen, but she hadn’t expected him to become even more adept with time.

When Jason returned to the stove to stir-fry, he caught Estrella’s gaze and teased, “Trying to steal my cooking secrets?”

Estrella couldn’t help but admire his competence as she responded, “You’re quite the handyman.”

Closing the distance between them, Jason leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips, “I’m even handier in bed, just you wait til after —”

After polishing off the apple, Jason pulled her into another kiss, with a triumphant twinkle in his eye.

Estrella adjusted her blouse and retorted, “Seems you’ve forgotten who taught you everything. Showing off in front of me?” Back in the day, she considered herself to be the wild one, and Jason, the innocent. Now, it seemed he had surpassed the teacher, shamelessly so.

He arched an eyebrow playfully, “Maybe later we can have a little ‘practice session.”
