This thought made me uncomfortable for I had cleaned myself up on the train but was not sure if I could fool Ashok if there were any tell-tale signs o... me. We reached home and I headed straight for the bathroom saying I needed a shower, Ashok informed me that he would make some tea and that I should take my time. I was fingering myself yet again when Ashok knocked on the door saying that my mom was on the phone inquiring why I did not call her and all that. I told him that I would call her. I just haven’t found…’ ‘Haven’t found what, Atton? Some lost smuggler’s cache? Some fabled holocron, hidden somewhere? Wasn’t what was happening on Coruscant good enough for you? Wasn’t I good enough for you?’ ‘Mira,’ he said softly, his voice ever-comforting, even when she didn’t want it to be. ‘I loved you, Atton!’ she blurted out, tears breaking from the corners of her eyes. ‘I loved you, would’ve done anything for you, so what do you do? You ask the Council to send you away? Was I that. “Eddie, I give you my word. No one’s ever going to hurt her again. Not me, not anyone.”Eddie gave Noah his knuckles and they fist bumped, sealing the deal. “Good enough. Take care of her.” He turned and wandered out into the party. Noah hitched me up a little, readjusting his grip.“You ready?”I hugged his neck, “Let’s go.”Did you know piggyback rides are bouncy? I didn’t. It was awesome, especially the stairs! I laughed all the way up as Noah bounced us up to my room.“What are you giggling. She was suprised to realise that the T-Shirt that she normally wore to bed was lying in a heap on the floor. Emma smiled and opened one eye, squinting at her against the bright daylight."What time is it?" she said, stretching above her."About nine. Your mum and dad have just left. Time to get up. And I remembered that you didn't have your ointment last night." Can't we do it now and get it out of the way, then we could go shopping!" Yeah, but somewhere else, you'll get the bed all messy." No I.
