Chapter 8

For the next few weeks, things went pretty well on Ahch-To. The time was filled with meditation, healing, and playful lightsaber duels. Ben and Rey especially enjoyed the stolen moments they shared together in between.

One morning, Ben sat on the beach and watched the waves. Soon, he felt Rey approaching. She sat in the space between his spread out legs. Ben wrapped his arms around Rey and planted a kiss on her cheek.

As they basked in the sun and the salty sea breeze, Ben thought about he had come to feel that he would be incomplete without Rey by his side. He had never felt that way about anyone before meeting her. Any past women in his life were just interested in the power he had.

"Beautiful", said Ben.

"Yes", said Rey. "The ocean does indeed look beautiful this morning."

I was talking about your smile.

Rey felt a blush growing on her face. The sight made Ben smile.

"How are you this morning?"

"Very well. Thank you", said Rey. "And you?"

"Never better."

"Glad to hear it." Rey turned to face him. "Ben, I want you to come with me to Ajan Kloss."

"Why? Aren't you happy hear with me?"

"Of coarse I am. It's just that I've been gone awhile. my friends might soon worry that something has happened to me."

"So you want to take me to those who were on the side of the Resistance who must surely hate me."

Rey held his hand. "Ben, in this time I've been with you, you have shown great progress in focusing on the light. You are not Kylo Ren anymore. I know you feel that you have a lot to apologize for. I think seeing my friends would be a great place to start. I believe they will see the changes in you that I see."

Ben felt uneasy about the whole idea. Rey placed a hand on his cheek.

"I have never loved anyone the way that I love you", she continued in a soft tone of voice. "I promise I won't let anything happen to you."

Looking into her eyes, Ben knew that Rey was sincere in her words. He felt warm feelings from her as she leaned in to give him a soft kiss.

We're in this together, Ben Solo. Always.

"Alright", said Ben. "I will go with you to Ajan Kloss." Ben helped Rey get up. "But, we are definitely coming back here."

"I would love that", said Rey with a smile on her face.

Together, they were a Dyad in the Force. Ben and Rey knew that, no matter what happened, they would always have each other.
