"I can't do this anymore, Obi-Wan."
Padmé isn't crying, but he can hear the tears unshed in her voice. She's just gotten Leia back to sleep, and Luke had luckily only half-awakened before dozing off again, but Obi-wan can sense this is about more than too many late nights.
He reaches into the Force for the right words, but finds none. He stays silent, waits patiently.
"He's not coming back," Padmé says at last.
"No."
She steps into his arms; no longer Anakin's wife, but his widow. And when she brushes her lips against his, he does not turn away.
