[He never thought he'd be doing this, but he let out a happy sigh, pulling her a little closer.]

...I was worried. I wanted to avoid contacting you... because I thought you would reject me.

Luke..no matter how different you are, the promise doesn't change. I'll always care about you, because I know you're still you.
