Eyebrows knitted together as he gazed at her, a frown etched onto his lips, something akin to melancholy falling onto his expression. It wasn’t as though he didn’t understand. It was that he did. Very much so. Though only twenty-three, Luke had already seen so much, felt so much, fought so much. He’d seen people die and worlds burn. He’d seen blood and death and war. He’d lost his family, his friends, his own hand. And yet here he was, living and breathing, alive despite it all.
‘It’s not easy. Life isn’t easy. And I won’t lie to you and tell you that it is, that it will be. Because it won’t, we both know that.

They were surrounded by life. ‘Look at them,’ his eyes fell to a young family, parents holding their child’s hand as he swung freely above the ground. ‘They’re happy. Smiling. They’re not at war. They’re not being ripped away from their family. They might even be safe.’ Luke pulled his gaze back to her, expression soft. ‘It might not be easy, but maybe it’s worth it.’
