True, they might not be here. Either or both of them could be gone and would be none the wiser for it, save for whoever remains.

All the more reason to treasure the present. Rey breathes out a sigh as she lets herself sink into the cushions as well, eyes closing. She tucks both her feet up on the seat of the couch, knees pressed to her chest as Rey rests her head against Nick's shoulder.

It's strange. She feels as if she hadn't felt this way in a long time. Whether that's more to do with Nick or whatever happened to her, Rey doesn't think to question it. Instead she closes her eyes, just cherishing the companionship she has while she's here.

Meteors could fall from the sky and obliterate the whole city off this damned planet, but at least she isn't alone...

"All right. Tomorrow it is." Rey feels her mouth pull into a slight simper once again. "Thanks."

The only certainty is forward.
