Sarah was right, she was, and Tenel Ka knew it, things with her and Jacen were moving faster than she ever would have conceived of, perhaps because at home he should be dead, perhaps for other reasons. Who knew?
"I understand that. And perhaps things are going at a faster pace. But its hard sometimes. I love him. I always will. I just wonder if I'm letting him back in too easily, and then even thinking it feels like betraying him all over again. I still wonder if something does happen. If he does...slip. Then will I know how to stop him, will I know?
She went back to her smoothie with a sigh.
"I don't know what the future has in store here, or even if it is here. But as long as I'm here, as long as I have him back again it will continue, at whatever pace it may."
