Star Wars The New Jedi Order: Survival

Chapter 3

He couldn't remember when she had invited him to sleep in her bed. She had woke him and said,

"Come on it's getting cold."

He had followed her to the bed and they had both curled up under the covers.

Now he lay starring into the beauty that was Katrin. Starring into her face like it was some stellar phenomenon that had pulled the strings connected to his heart. A stellar phenomenon that beckoned for him to journey into its depths, yet also sends out a warning that tells him to stay away. Not to get close but at the same time drawing him closer, and closer towards itself.

He turned away and slowly got up. He walked over to the computer and checked to see if there was a message from Luke. He frowned when he saw there wasn't one. He was about to type another message when he heard Katrin shift behind him. He turned and saw that she was looking at him.

"Come back to bed Ken."

He turned off the terminal and walked back to the bed. He laid down and pulled the covers over them.

"Welcome back."

She leaned over and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. Then she put her arms around him.

"Goodnight Ken."

"Goodnight Katrin."

With those words he fell into the phenomenon that was Katrin.

She wasn't sure why but she loved him. Maybe it had been that week of solitude or the fact that she had always been solo, and now in the current situation she felt a need for that part of her heart that had always been missing. Or maybe that week had magnified that calling to the point that she could no longer deny that she had that longing.

She lay think about it with her arms entwined around the man she loved.
