Unfortunately, there was no way to go back and fix the mistakes of the past. And even though Jyn didn't tend to dwell on what ifs or could have beens, she almost wished that they could have had a chance to make things right, to have the chance to have spent those four years together more often than apart.
But she didn't blame Cassian for that - she couldn't. They had done what was necessary, even though it had torn her heart to shreds to only ever see each other in passing, and only rarely. That was war, not him.
Jyn ducked her head then, attempting to catch her breath. While she had certainly hoped for it, she knew that Cassian didn't have to move on from this point with her, but it sent her reeling to hear that he wanted to.
"No, Cassian, I - why wouldn't I want that? I'm not only here to retrieve you, I'm I ... I'm here because I want to be here. With you."
