Chapter 3- Reassurance
The next morning, a shaken up Padme sat down to eat breakfast. Anakin was already seated, and had begun to eat.
"Good morning, Pad." Anakin greeted warmly.
Padme smiled at his use of the childhood name that he had bestowed on her.
"Good morning to you too, Ani. I can't say I slept well, unfortunately." She sighed.
Anakin frowned at her last comment, deep in thought. Padme watched him intently, wondering what he was thinking, hoping he wasn't too worried about her.
Suddenly an idea hit Anakin. He used the force to gently glide the Padme's apple off her plate, and into his hand. Padme smiled gratefully, acknowledging what he was trying to do, and succeeding. Anakin sliced the apple, the sent half of it back to Padme with a slight motions of his hand. She giggled as she placed the apple back onto her plate.
"Thank you, Anakin."
"For what?"
"For cheering me up. For making me forget."
"Your welcome, Pad. I'm just glad that I can do something. I mean, your situation is, well, simply indescribable. You know you're my best friend, and I would do anything for you. I'm going to find out who's trying to kill you, I promise you. I will keep you safe."
Padme smiled that gorgeous smile that Anakin loved so much. She knew every word he said to be true. She trusted him with her life, and knew he would protect her with his life. She closed her eyes, thanking God for her savior from this hell that she had been experiencing for the last couple of months. He had always been so good to her, and was continuing this now, despite the fact that they had not seen each other in years. It felt so good to be near him, to see him smile. He had never failed her in any way, and she believed with every inch of her soul, that he would not start now.
