Playing the villain for once, Cole stood his ground against the reunion with Jason. Estrella couldn’t help but find humor in his staunch opposition. She teased, “What about Bryce?”

Cole’s face darkened instantly. “Why must you always involve yourself with the Nelsons? Are they the only men on earth?” His voice grew stern, “And I definitely do not agree with Bryce. If you even mention the name of their cousin Robert, Estrella, believe me, I’ll have words with you.”

Knowing Estrella was never serious, Cole preempted her, even bringing up young to make his point.

Estrella chuckled at her father’s rare anger, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll handle it.”

Cole’s disapproval of their remarriage was expected. Estrella had seen the disappointment in his eyes three years ago when she was hospitalized after the fall. It was clear he would never support Jason again, even though he had once been in favor of their marriage.

Isaac looked up, still drowsy, “Mommy, where’s Uncle Jason?”

Estrella draped a light blanket over his sleeping bag, “He went home, sweetheart.”

Hearing this, Isaac clambered into Estrella’s lap, finding comfort in her embrace.
