    Summary

    “Why?” She asked, voice still ragged from the choking waves.

    “Why what?” His voice had that soft quality to it again. The one that made her wonder if he truly was consumed by darkness, if this was just a facade, or if some ember of compassion flickered within. He brushed one of her locs behind her shoulder, wiped saltwater from her chin. He was gentle. So gentle, and she thought I have never been touched this way. Then, more terrifyingly, she didn’t want him to stop.

    “I’m fine. Just a graze. Nothing I can’t handle.”

    “You don’t have to handle it by yourself, though. Let me help, Osha,” he said, half pleading as his eyes met hers. When he looked at her this way, like she was a star and he was merely caught in her orbit, she could feel her walls begin to fracture and crumble, her reservations about him burning off like morning mist.

    Summary

    “Are you real?” Her voiced cracked at the possibility of it. She couldn’t trust her own mind and was too scared to hope that this was real.

    “I’m here, I’m real,” his deep voice rumbled. “I promise I won’t ever let you go.”

    Summary

    “Do you remember how restless the waves were at the ruins of the Death Star?” Rey asked. After all those years on Jakku, Rey learned that she loved water, no matter its mood. From raging waves to gentle eddies, she wanted to explore all its forms.

    “I remember you stabbing me,” Ben replied with a joking smile.

    Ben and Rey are both still healing from their trauma, but they are together, alive, and happy.
