It’s been so long. So many years. But the day finally comes, and his face, his precious face, with new scars and marks and lines etched by anger and time is before her again.
“Oh, Ben…”
There’s so much to stay, and for once in her life, no witty come back or quip comes readily to her lips. Her tongue is tangled.
She knows what she should say.
I never should have sent you away.
You’ve lived in my heart since the day I knew I carried you.
His eyes are hers, the same dark color; the shape belongs to Han, and her heart screams in her chest.
My son… I’ve missed you so much.
I’ve never stopped loving you.
Tears hesitate on her lashes, and his face twists. She can’t tell if it’s hatred or sorrow, regret, guilt, or anger.
She can’t trust him. Ben had killed Han, extinguished his cocky smile, before she could tell him what she truly felt even though he’d been gone for so long.
“Mother…”
My heart killed my heart… you killed Han.
You killed the love of my life.Ben and Han had held her love more surely than any other, even Luke.
