#oops wrong hand

Chp 21 “Bonded” by Chridder @reyloforcebalance

“Rey squeezes her eyes shut, another tear escaping down her cheek, and turns her face slightly into his palm, lifting a hand to cover the back of his. She remains like this for a moment, leaning into him, before letting her fingers slide to his wrist, halfway down his forearm, gripping him gently. He watches her softly as she grows strangely content, at peace, just burying half her face in his hand. He strokes her cheek tenderly with his thumb and she responds by turning her lips inward to kiss the base of his palm.

And there, right then, just for a few moments, that chasm of difference between them seems to close, mended together by that feeling, not crushing this time but light, a warm pulsing glow shared between them, their second heartbeat.”
