In the quiet moments between their adventures, Ellie and Dina found themselves lost in thought, their minds wandering to the complexities of their relationship and the lingering presence of Dina's ex, Jesse. As they sat together in their cozy home in Jackson, the warmth of the fire casting a gentle glow around them, they couldn't help but wonder about the possibilities that lay ahead.

"Dina," Ellie began tentatively, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between them, "have you ever... thought about Jesse?" Dina's gaze flickered with uncertainty as she considered Ellie's question, her mind drifting back to the memories they had shared. "Sometimes," she admitted quietly, her voice tinged with nostalgia. "He was a big part of my life, and I can't help but wonder if he'd ever be open to... something more."

Ellie nodded in understanding, her own thoughts mirroring Dina's. "I've thought about it too," she confessed, her heart heavy with the weight of their shared history. "I mean, we both care about him, right? And if he were open to it, maybe... we could make it work." The idea hung in the air between them, both enticing and terrifying in its implications.

As they mulled over the possibility of inviting Jesse into their relationship, a mix of emotions swirled within them – hope, fear, longing. Would he be open to the idea of joining them in a polyamorous relationship? And if so, what would that mean for their dynamic, their connection with each other, and with him?

But amidst the uncertainty, one thing remained clear – their love for each other, unwavering and true. And as they sat together, their fingers intertwined, they knew that whatever the future held, they would face it together, bound by a bond that transcended the boundaries of conventionality. With a shared glance and a tentative smile, they leaned into each other, ready to embrace whatever challenges lay ahead, with Jesse by their side or not
