"Who are you?" Leia demanded, her voice strong but fear rising in her which she certainly wouldn't allow him to know.
A man that she didn't know had suddenly appeared in the living room as she was alone. Han had just left only a minute ago.
"What is the force telling you?" The man answered knowingly with a mixture of sadness and happiness in his voice. Along with his voice being a mixture there was a greater mixture in his eyes. Being proud of her and feeling happiness and joy for her and also feeling sadness and shame of what he had done: all somehow she could see in his eyes.
"What is the force telling you?"
She listened for a moment but had already known begrudgingly from the moment she saw him.
"Vader." She thought then corrected herself."No.. Anakin Skywalker."
She swallowed. She had forgiven him. Through Luke's help along with Han she had. Or at least she thought she had.
After a bit of silence she spoke.
"My father." Leia answered releasing it from her lips and adverting her eyes. Saying it made her feel like she got the wind knocked out of her. Leia's hand had went to the armchair near her where she stood to lean on it for support as she felt a bit light headed after she had said it.
"Leia.." He said with concern.
"Why are you here?" She demanded her eyes avoiding even just looking at him, but instead stared at part of the floor.
"I've come to apologize.. to ask for your forgiveness." He answered deeply saddened and then swallowing said "And to congratulate you."
"..Congratulate?" she asked before realizing. She stared at her engagement ring Han had given her yesterday.
And Leia, looking up to look at her father saw that he was gone.
