Epilogue 3
"Rey?" Ben asked; he was drawing lazy patterns on her back with his fingers.
"Hm?" Rey replied sleepily from where her head was resting on his chest. That had become her favourite place, she could hear his heart beat inside of him and it felt like it reverberated all the way through her.
"I think we should get married," Ben said decidedly.
Rey shot up, looking at him confused. "Why do you think that?"she laughed but a bigger smile was lurking in the corners of her mouth.
Ben shrugged, brushing her hair past her shoulder. "Well it just make sense," he said as if it was the most obvious thing.
Rey couldn't help her laugh. "Does it now?"
"Yes, well, you promised me you'd alway be by my side and so did I," he said playing with her fingers that were splayed on his chest.
"Right," Rey answered, resting on her elbow. "See, I remember me promising that to you, but I seem to have no recollection of you doing the same," she said, teasingly poking his chest.
"And that's precisely why we should get married," he replied. "So that I can say it in front of everybody," he explained.
Rey felt her smile widen and her heart grow inside of her. "Ok then," she whispered as she lay a brief kiss on his lips.Ben smiled and brought her closer for a real kiss.
