Summary: While making a fresh start at Corellia University, Rey finds out that there is a problem with her engineering scholarship. Refusing to return to Jakku, Rey is determined to do whatever it takes to remain on campus and earn her degree.
She lands on an unconventional, albeit, profitable solution: Work for the Knights of Ren on-campus dating service.
Moving into the First Order house is easy. Surviving Ben Solo, however, may just prove to be impossible.
While the girls did their weekly grocery shopping, Rey meandered through the stalls, checking out the sights. Jakku hadn’t had a farmer’s market unless you counted Teedo selling chachkies off the back of his truck. Tatooine had everything from fresh produce to handmade cards. There was even a table with a collection of gently used books.
“Looking for anything special?” the vendor asked.
Rey glanced up into his blue eyes and weathered face. “Just browsing,” she answered with a smile.
He nodded but continued to watch her as she skimmed over the available titles. There was a wide assortment. Rey hadn’t expected such variety from someone who appeared to be cleaning out their basement. She didn’t know too many people who read Kafka or Faulkner in their free time.
“English professor?” she guessed as she traced the spine of Cervantes’ Don Quixote.
It looked like a first edition. Intrigued, Rey picked it up to check the inside cover.
“I taught at one point,” the man muttered dismissively.
Rey glanced up from the novel. His cold demeanor reminded her of someone.
