"Do you know what I want?" she said, her hair trailing down her shoulders in a recently-unbraided mess.

She sat in the Falcon's cockpit, in the captain's seat. Her bare feet hung over the side of the chair and she looked up at him with a small smile. He leaned over the back of the chair, folded his arms over the top. The starfield behind her was transcendent, sure, but something about the way this devastating woman so freely took over the space she inhabited was beyond his capacity to understand.

"What's that?" he asked.

She shifted onto her knees and leaned in until her chin rested on his folded arms. Her eyes were playful and mischievous as she looked up at him. "I want you to tell me what made you come back to Yavin 4."

"You what?" he said, immediately confused. Wasn't she looking at him with her bedroom eyes? Wasn't she smiling at him like she knew every damn secret in the universe and she was doling them out at her convenience? Wasn't this conversation going to end in their bunk? Wasn't it?

"Why did you come back to Yavin 4 ten years ago?"

His eyes shifted to look at the starfield he'd dismissed earlier. To starboard was the looming moon in question, behind it the gas giant planet. Whirling around the moon was a smooth line of Death Star debris trapped in orbit. He'd helped create that debris ring a decade ago, before this woman in front of him had been his wife and the mother of their children. Before they'd helped destroy the galactic order. Before they'd fought an insane war. Before they'd won the insane war.

Why had he come back?

Han shifted his eyes back to Leia's, considered her question. There were lots of reasons. Because he personally didn't like the idea of space stations that could destroy whole planets. Because he'd watched an old man sacrifice his life for a kid he'd barely known. Because he had felt Chewie's eyes on him from the moment they'd left the Alliance hangar bay.

Because it'd been the right thing to do.

"I don't know," he finally said, looking at her. "But I'm sure glad I did."
