I sit in the little nook, and place my hand on the hand of the mysterious girl.
"Thank you." I say. "Thank you for saving him."
I get up to leave but she stirs.
"Thank you for saving who?"
"Finn."
"He told you?"
"Yes."
"Wait a second," she blinks twice, "You're, you're Rey! The Rey!"
"The Rey?"
"Sorry. I used to work behind pipes all day. Doing talking with Resistance heroes is not my forte."
"It's quite alright. What's your name?"
"I'm Rose."
"So Rose, you like Finn, don't you. Like, like him like him."
She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I do."
"You'd be good for him."
"You think so?"
"I know so. But I need your help with something."
"What?"
"Kylo Ren."
Her face goes dark. "What about him?"
"Please don't hate me," I say, "I like him. The same way you like Finn."
She smirks, leans back, and looks at me. "You'd be good for him."
I roll my eyes, "And by that, you mean that me with him would be good for the galaxy."
She laughs. I wish my laugh was that nice. "I guess, yeah. So, what happened between you that made you like him?"
I tell her everything. The force connections, what he said to me, everything.
"Force connections..."is all she has to say.
She leans back, thinking for a moment before she says, "So, you went to him, trying to make him turn, but that backfired. You can still feel the conflict in him, even though Snoke said there wasn't one. Maybe, all he needs s just one last pull, and he'll break free from the darkness, come into the light."
I consider this for a moment. "Maybe." I say slowly. "But what would be the 'last pull'?"
She slides over to me, her eyes glmering with ideas. "You telling him how you feel. You said you had force connections, so connect! Decide on something to say, then say it."
I take her hand. "Help me?"
She smiles at me. "Of course."
