That afternoon, Jason decided he should pay Maria a visit to inform her that he'd be away for a small business. He didn't want her to worry when she tried contacting him later.
It was also an opportunity to clear things up between them since they hadn't talked to each other after the kiss the other day. He wanted to make sure that his feelings were clear and not muddled.
