One Standard Week Later 200h…

Leia stood in the open doorway of the hangar, staring over the vast white blanket that covered the dark terrain. She was only dressed in an oversized white dress shirt, and her hair was braided down her back in one straight braid.

Han Solo had been staring at her form for only Jedi's knew how long. He adjusted his jacket, for he was dressed in his normal day clothes and then checked the chronometer.

5…4….3….2…1.

He could finally talk to her.

That had been the punishment that Reeikan had given him.

One standard week without talking to or mentioning the princess. That and 1,000 credits.

He didn't think he could do it….the talking part he meant.

And now he doesn't even have near enough the amount of money he needed to pay off Jabba.

He placed his hands in his pockets, and silently stepped towards her. He stopped about two feet behind her, and he heard her sniffle and give out a frustrated sigh.

"I'm sorry." Han blurted out.

"No you're not." Leia responded giving him a glance over her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around her thin body, and shuddered.

He walked up and wrapped his arms around her neck, pulling her towards his chest. She didn't try to budge from his grip.

"Yeah…yeah Leia I am."

She rested her head against his chest. "Why did you leave me out there to die then?" He traced her scar on her cheek and sighed.

"I don't know, Sweetheart."

"Come on, there must be a reason."

"I didn't want you to know."

"Why not?"

"I was afraid."

"Han Solo? Afraid?" She let out a small laugh. "I don't think I've ever heard those two words in one sentence before." There was a moment of silence. "Why were you afraid?"

"Because I…"

"You didn't think I felt the same way?" He shook his head, no. "Oh."

"Do you?"

"I may…but I can't!"

"You can't? Why not?" She turned around in his arms and stared at him.
"H-Han…you're leaving."

"I know." He sighed, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I think…I think I may…"

"What?" Love you. Leia wanted to say, but she couldn't get the words out. "May what?"

"Love you…" Leia whispered. "Oh, don't go."

"Why not?"

"I can't bear to lose you!"

"But I have to go, sorry."

"Can't…can't I come with you?"

"You have the alliance to take care of, Leia."

"I know…but….will you come back?"

"I can't guarantee that, Sweetheart."

She rested her head on his chest. "Please…please don't." She said as a couple of tears trickled down her cheeks.

"Don't cry….look, Leia. I have to pay off Jabba. If I don't, I'm a dead man."

She tried to chuckle, but it didn't work. "I love you…" She whispered, and then lifted her head up and hungrily kissed him. "Goodbye…Han Solo." She said, pulling herself out of his arms and walking towards her bedroom.

"I love you too…" Han said, scratching his head and trudging back to the Falcon.

General Reeikan moved out of his hiding place behind the crates and rubbed his head, trying to get the image of Leia's crying face and the image of them kissing out of his head. "Oh." Was all he could say before he started towards his bedroom.
