Note 35
Nine years after the Naboo Invasion
One year later:
Padme,
Yes…you told me that her name was Siri or something like that. That's kind of a pretty name. I don't know what I would have named Han if he had been a girl.
Aw, I'm so happy for Mark and Nia. How are they getting along now? I'm glad their honeymoon and wedding went well. You'll have to let me know when Nia gets pregnant.
Oh WONDERFUL!!!!!!! Krilien and Daria are back together!!!!!! So are they engaged yet?
Okay….has Ella thought about the Intelligence position again? You said in your last letter that she was going to wait a few more years…..
They had a boy????? And they named him Caleb? I told my husband that, and he said that he feels special now. Really, he feels very honored that they would name their child his name. They think very highly of my husband, don't they?
Poor Cedric. I hope he learns to calm down and not be so excited and nervous.
Yes…….Caleb and I are living very well and are very happy with life in general. We are a little disturbed with the reports of the Maurders….what have they been up to anyway? They've caused riots all over the Republic. You must know more about this since you are part of the Republic.
WHAT?????????? You turned him DOWN? How could you do that? What were you thinking???!!!! I mean you obviously love each other…..what's holding you back. I don't understand you, Padme. Sure, I know marriage is a big decision…but still…you obviously have a very special relationship with him. There are always doubts about marriage…but you have to have faith that you're doing the right thing. If you're not supposed to marry him, I'm sure something will come up and prevent you from seeing him as often….or something. I mean……Yuro and you are so perfect together. How can you not be so sure about it?
I'm glad to hear that Veren and Leilana are engaged now. Well it's been a year since you told me that…and you said they would have a long engagement….at least a year….so are they thinking about a wedding yet?
Well we're 23 now. That's not quite an old maid age yet….but you shouldn't doubt yourself or you'll never find your perfect man….and you'll never get married, and THEN you'll be an old maid.
Well I'll let you go now. I'm looking forward to spending this time of year with you next year on Coruscant. Thank you for inviting Caleb and me to stay with you for a few weeks.
Now that you are a Senator, I know that you are spending a lot of time on Coruscant. Yeah, I've heard about the Count Dooku and his Separatist movement. I hope that nothing comes of it.
Your best friend,
Sabe
