Coruscant’s violet dusk bathed the balcony where Anakin and Padmé stood, the city’s speeder trails blurring into constellations below. The air hummed with distant traffic, but inside the suite, silence reigned—heavy with unspoken worry. Anakin leaned against the arch, eyes fixed on Padmé, who brushed her hair in rhythmic, anxious strokes. Tea cooled untouched. Then, the hiss of the door. Anakin’s head snapped up; Padmé turned, breath catching. you stepped through the golden entry glow, hood back, hair clinging to cheeks. The tension in the room fractured. Anakin exhaled, a short, relieved laugh escaping him as the weight of the day slid from his shoulders.
