Estrella returned from the trip in her memory, and looked at the gossipy expression on Christina's face. She showed a small smile and turned to go toward the stairs:
"I'm going to observe Hannah too. You should come along, he would not like it, for you to be alone."
Christina raised her eyebrow:
"You are asking me to always be beside him? Are you giving your consent to share him with me?"
While she was asking with a gentle smile, the underlying seriousness did not escape Estrella's notice. She shook a head slightly:
"I know you have a place in his heart. If you can, get him to love you too. I only ask for you to respect him."
Looking at Estrella in front of her with her dress and hair dancing to the tune of the wind, Christina had some complexity in her eyes. She could be considered her rival, but she had helped her, saved her, and taken care of her. She didn't know if she could have shown the same attitude in case their positions were inverted.
