Chapter 11

As the Resistance celebrated their victory long into the night, Ben and Rey snuck away to watch the sun set outside the blast doors that protected the rebel base. They ran hand in hand out a little ways until Ben lightly tripped over a clump of salt, causing him to take Rey down with him. Their laughter rang out across the salt fields as Rey tumbled onto his chest. Their laughter died down as they looked at each other, huge smiles on their faces. Ben gazed at this beautiful woman on him and couldn't believe he was hers. Rey stared back and kissed him lovingly. Then they both sat up together, Rey sitting in Ben's lap with his arms draped around her, watching the sun set. Ben nuzzled his face into Rey's neck and pulled her close.
"I love you, Ben," Rey spoke with a smile.
"I love you, Rey. Always," Ben replied. They settled into each other's arms and stayed until the last few rays of the sun dipped below the horizon. This would not be the last sunset for Ben and Rey Solo.
