I'm so sorry I haven't been updating; life is hectic and I'm struggling through it.

The letter arrived three days later, but by then, Finn was prepared to receive it.

The letter itself was not daunting or too promiscuous. A white envelope, George Washington stamp, and the handwriting of an angry three-year-old. Finn opened it, read its contents, and then passed it on to Mr. Calrission- his lawyer. As of that day, Finn was being sued by a Mr. Kylo Ren, senior lawyer and analyst for First Order Incorporate.

When he had approached Leia with his problem, Finn wondered if she would take his side or her son's. Finn was still skeptical of what Rey had told him, but it surprised him when Leia listened to his terms and immediately offered Alliance's legal services. Lando knocked on his front door a day later.

"So he's really going through with this?" Finn asked Rey. He sat beside her on the sofa and they each held a breakfast sandwich from McDonald's along with a mug of their preferred drink. "Suing me for something I didn't do? Is it because I used to work there?" he asked.

"I don't know…" Rey sighed as she took a bite of her sandwich. "I haven't called him since I left," she muttered.

"You should go back to him," Finn commented and Rey's jaw dropped.

"What?"

"I said, you should go back to him," he repeated. "Rey, I'm innocent and I know that, so all I have to do is prove it. It's of that big of a deal. There's security footage that we can access and Lando is scouring my computer for anything weird. So… you were reckless and I think you should go back to him; he makes you happy."

Rey stared at her friend in silence. She barely noticed Poe sitting down beside Finn. "He's right, you know. You haven't been this crazy about someone since… since I have no idea," Poe looked at Rey before taking a bite of Finn's sandwich.

"I'm staying with Finn," Rey shook her head, "Kylo and I are taking a break, so I won't be seeing him for a while. We're-" she stopped short as her phone began to ring.

Finn smirked when he saw Kylo's name appear on Rey's screen. Picking the silver phone up, he answered the call and held it out towards Rey.

Glaring at her friend, she satched the phone from his hand and pressed the glass to her face. "What?" she snapped.

"You should come back," Kylo immediately replied. Rey raised her eyebrows.

"And why is that? It's only been a few days and-"

"I rescinded the order," he said. "I'm not suing Finn, so please come back. I know you have the keys to my house on your keychain, so just… Come back?"

Rey looked at Finn and Poe who both nodded earnestly.

"So you broke up?" Hux asked, an eyebrow raised. He looked at his friend with a frown as Ren stepped out of his kitchen. Their workplace emo was currently dressed in a sport brand sweatshirt and cargo shorts.

"What did you break when she left?" Phasma asked. Kylo leered at his friends before setting glasses of water before them. The tray clacked against the table and the glasses rattled, almost tipping onto the mountains of paperwork Ren's printer was spitting out.

"I don't know if we broke up, and I threw an umbrella. That's it," he snapped, falling onto the sofa. Hux took a sip from his water as Kylo pulled the hood of his shirt over his eyes. "Ughh…" he groaned.

"Are you wearing a sweatshirt?" Hux asked. "I haven't seen you wear a sweatshirt since grad school," he said. Kylo looked down at his clothing before shrugging.

"It's comfortable and-"

"And your girlfriend seems to have been a good influence on you," Phasma interjected. "You've loosened up and you're less of a whiny brat at work," she said, taking a sip of water. "It's quite nice not having to worry about if my crystal swans are going to be broken a second time."

Hux reached for his water glass and crossed his legs as he leaned back against his recliner. Kylo's house was larger than his and Phasma's. Kylo lived the furthest away from First Order headquarters, and Phasma and Hux were the closest.

"So, why has the case against your girlfriend's friend been moved to Hux and a First Order file?" Phasma asked. She raised an eyebrow at Kylo and Hux who both gaped at her.

"How do you know that?" Hux asked, shaking his head. "That happened today and it's not even supposed to be public informations. Snoke himself moved the case to me because he thought Ren was too emotional to take the case," Kylo nodded as Hux spoke and Phasma shrugged.

"You forget, dear friends, that I am the one that controls the interns and they know everything- maybe even more than Snoke."

"I am going to strangle Rockwell," Kylo growled. "He was the one that told you, didn't he? That conniving little-"

"Please, you know this was a gift sent from God," Phasma rolled her eyes. "Now you can tell your girlfriend you're not suing her best friend… your best friend is suing her best friend."

Hux snorted at Phasma's snark and reached over to organize the stacks of untouched paperwork that was beginning to pile up. His hands worked deftly, organizing by date. "I get a twenty dollar raise per hour that I work on this case, so I'm happier than Ren," he said and Kylo snorted. Phasma took a sip from her glass and chuckled, shaking her head.

"You need a girl," she said, "Living alone with your cat… how do you get by, Lee?"

"Let's see, I hate human contact, loud noises, the idea of dating or even sharing a bed with anyone, and I think everyone aside from a select few are quite annoying. Millicent is quiet, does not nag me about work, and is also a great heater for my lap. And you wonder how I get by?" His rhetorical question was answered by a snort from Kylo and a roll of Phasma's eyes.

There was a sound at the door and the three turned their heads as the lock turned. Hux snuck a glance at Kylo who seemed intrigued, but not worried that someone was entering his home.

Three pairs of eyes widened when the front door opened and Kylo's girlfriend walked in, a white Taekwondo uniform on, a blue gym bag slung over one shoulder, and a black belt strapped around her waist. "Hi, I'm here. I'm sorry for running out, and I really need to take a shower," her British accent made Phasma smirk immediately. She tossed her keys into Ren's key bowl and froze when she looked up and saw two unexpected people in the house. "Is this a bad time?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.

Phasma and Hux both choked on their laughter when Kylo stood and bolted towards Rey, pulling her into his arms as soon as he reached her. "Rey!" he exclaimed, beaming. Hux looked at Phasma who was biting the lipstick off of her bottom lip to keep from laughing at their friend.

When Kylo set Rey down, he led her over to where Hux and Phasma were sitting. "Rey, these are my colleagues, college buddies, and friends," he introduced them. "Lee Hux is the snooty redhead," Hux glared at his friend, but shook Rey's hand. "And Pauline is-"

"Happy to meet another Brit in this godforsaken city," Phasma shook Rey's hand and Rey smiled.

"Oh, it's nice to meet you!" she said. Kylo sat down on the sofa as Rey bit the inside of her cheek and nodded. "Well, I'm going to go…shower," she pointed in the direction of Ren's room before walking off.

Hux wondered if she knew the guest bathroom was fully stocked.
