A lot happens in fifteen years. Governments rise, and shakily stand on their feet. A woman who used to be a holonews writer has turned to her first love, and is working as a political aide to a well-known politician.
Some things never change, though, and a small apartment on Coruscant is one of them. Sure, there might be a few more strange things from different planets, and the furniture has taken on the dust of someone who doesn't have either the time to clean, or the desire to buy more furniture, but it's all still there. An almost Bohemian shabbiness has come about the place.
Sitting on her couch, Valentine, once Valentine Wiggin, once Valentine Skywalker, now simply Valentine Janson of strange background, is reading the holonews. She just stares. The marriage of Luke Skywalker to Mara Jade is announced. Oh. So he had forgotten her. Shrugging, she flips through stories, till she finds a political one to read.
