Chapter 18 ~ Mornings

I woke up next to Ben. He was still sound asleep so I decided to go walk around. I sat up on the bed and rubbed my eyes. I smiled a little and got up. I walked out of the bedroom and into the hallway. The sun was covered by fog, and the humidity hung thick in the air. Outside birds were chirping and insects were buzzing.

"How pretty" I whispered to myself and sat on the chair outside on the deck. The fog seemed to sit on the lake. The lake I thought to myself and walked over to the edge of the dock. I sat down and dipped my feet in the water. It was noticeably colder, I shivered a little. I watched my feet sway back and forth. I hadn't felt at peace like this since before I joined the resistance. I enjoyed it, being alone for once. I didn't have a care in the world, no training, no resistance, no kids, no Jedi. But I still felt a hint of boredom.

"I see you're up early" I heard Ben say. I turned around and saw Ben with messy hair and droopy eyes. I blushed slightly and nodded

"I thought I would get some fresh air" I said

"May I join you" Ben asked

"Sure" I replied and turned back around facing the lake. Ben sat down next to me and put his feet in the water with mine. I leaned against him and sighed.

"Pretty isn't it" Ben said

"Yeah," I started "I was just thinking isn't it nice not having anything to worry about. We don't have to train, worry about the kids"

"Yeah it is pretty nice but I can't imagine things would get interesting often"

"True but just taking a few days to worry about absolutely nothing"

"Do you think Kory and her parents are getting along" Ben asked

"I don't know but I sure hope they aren't with the resistance" I responded with a nervous laugh. Ben and I sat in silence, the sun began to peek through the fog and other creatures in the forest began to wake up. Things seemed to come alive, the trees seemed more green, the water more blue. But then I began to think, what is the point of things being beautiful. Beautiful things always get destroyed. Dismal thoughts flooded my mind. What is happening to me?
