She sighed. "I know, it's just that you know I don't really like to cry in front of anyone. The last time I did was when I told you about what my so-called family did to me," she replied, her eyes downcast for a long time.

Qui-Gon tipped her face upwards to meet his gaze. "You know I'll always be here for you. If you need to cry, you can always cry on my shoulder, love," he said.

She nodded. "Thank you, that means a lot to me. I love you so much," she said, her voice barely more than a whisper.

He kissed her forehead. "I love you, too."

She laid her head down on his shoulder and a little sigh escaped her. "I wonder if Casey and Obi-Wan have had any luck finding any leads."

"I'm sure they have. Those two are very resourceful," Qui-Gon replied.

"I know. I just hope we're not too late," Layla said quietly, her voice grim.
