Her brows raise at that.
"First you want me to step on you, now you want me to lock you up."

Zorri slips her arm through his.
'Just what sort of company have you been keeping since you left, Poe? I'm a little concerned about the influence they've had on you."

"I don't think he likes me." She laughs, accepting the flowers and the compliment.

"You look like a felony."
Not a felon. Hot. Oh my.

stop looking at me like I sold your droid?"

"I'm here for all of that."

She may not be as romantic as he is, but that doesn't mean she doesn't feel as deeply.

Zorri has always hidden her feelings. She's had to. It's what keeps her alive.

"Can you do me a favor though?"

Stepping closer, she straightens her collar. 'Will you please-

never has been.

"We just can't pick up where we left off. We need to start here, where we are now. Let's start here, now."

Her brow furrows at his reaction and she knows his misunderstood.
"Poe."
Reaching out, she touches his cheek gently.

"We're not who we were then, we're different people who have lived different lives. That doesn't mean my heart stopped being yours."

Zorri has never been good at this. She -

adept...who is she kidding, she's never had a snowballs chance on Tatooine in hiding her heart in her eyes from Poe.

"No."

She says softly as their hands join.

"I don't want what was. We can't go back, Poe.

Let's build something new on what we had."

Normally, she is so sure footed and secure, but here, tonight, she feels vulnerable.
Her helmet, her 'uniform' are back on her ship, and she feels exposed in more ways than one.
He can see every expression on her face.
Granted, she can play it close to the vest, but her eyes, she's never been -

That so?

So you're always ready.

Gotta keep you on your toes...

He's so bad.

[Baby]

No, she didnt say it.

Poe...

We are losing the plot...
