Padmé moved slowly, carefully, almost painfully. How long, Dormé wondered, does she think she can keep it a secret?
"Here, let me rub your back."

"In that case, how can I refuse?" Padmé let her concealing robe slide down her arms, and lowered herself carefully to the bed. Dormé rubbed the tense muscles. Finally, she felt the other woman relax, slide into sleep.
Dormé couldn't bear to wake her mistress, so she draped a blanket over her.
"Anakin," Padmé murmured.
Dormé's heart broke.
