Maybe they both just needed to grow up.
For a while, before Rey had even come to Solo, he had been considering taking a short sabbatical. His mom had suggested it because his last few projects had been so consuming and mentally exhausting. Maybe he’ll finally take her up on the offer.
When Ben turned around to face Rey once more, he took in a deep breath.
“A break didn’t mean forever when I suggested it, you know,” he pointed out. “But...whatever.” Ben shook his head and turned to close her front door.
