Jyn didn't care that a tear had slipped from her eye and trailed down her cheek, leaving a shining trail behind. When Cassian pulled away and shared that smile - searching and nervous and hopeful, she offered her own in return, a smile that was hesitant and shy, but infinitely hopeful, as well.
She welcomed Cassian as he gave in to his exhaustion, quiet as gentle fingers danced along the length of his arm.
Did he realize what he'd said? Or had the words just slipped through?
Should she acknowledge or act as though she hadn't heard at all?
And she couldn't ignore the implications of the statement either, could she? That the times he'd done this before had been for the cause, or ...
"What about now?", she began, her voice soft, questioning.
