Default Does a body approaching toward you exhibit time dilation or timecontraction?

I can imagine the twin paradox resolved if the travelling
twin undergoes time dilation when he is receding, but
he undergoes time contraction when he is returning home.
So, at the end of the trip, he will stay at rest near his twin,
and they would have aged equally.
