Luke and Mara
(told with excerpts from Star Wars novels)
"Don't like it, do you?" the woman mocked. "It's not easy to suddenly lose everything that once made you special , is it?" ...
Luke eased his legs over the side of the bed and sat up.... The woman watched him, her right hand dropping to her lap to rest on top of her blaster.
"If the purpose of all this activity is to impress me with your remarkable powers of recuperation," she offered, "you don't need to bother."
(Luke) looked her hard in the in the eye, wondering if she would flinch away from his gaze. She didn't even twitch. "Don't tell me; let me guess. You're Mara Jade." from HEIR TO THE EMPIRE by Timothy Zahn
He gazed down at her again, a quiet ache in his heart. Perhaps that was her destiny, an end to her life that he could do nothing to prevent. But until that was proved, he was tear his own life apart if necessary to prevent it from happening. .... But for now what she needed most was to be healed. ... "Good night," he said again, knowing she couldn't hear him. On impulse, he leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips. from VISIONS OF THE FUTURE by Timothy Zahn
So focused was her mind, so locked into the terrible struggle for survival that there was nothing else in the universe that seemed to penetrate her consciousness. ... Nothing but the blasters and her lightsaber. And Luke. It was a strange sensation ... Standing back to back, stretched out so deeply together in the Force, it was if their minds had literally melded together to become a single entity. ... In one way it was almost like a logical extension of the brief emotional contacts they had had throughout this trip. But in another way it was something completely new, ... Because within the depth of that mental rapport, she suddenly and totally knew Luke Skywalker. Knew everything about him: his hopes and fears; his successes and failures; his strengths and weaknesses; his highest joys and his deepest most private sorrows. She saw into his innermost spirit, to the depths of his heart, to the very core of his being. And she knew even as he lay open before her eyes, so also her heart and spirit were open before his. Yet it wasn't frightening or humiliating ... Never had she known such a relationship could even exist. And never before had she realized how badly she wanted such a relationship. from VISIONS OF THE FUTURE by Timothy Zahn
"You didn't know, but after that pirate base thing, Faughn told me you and I make a good team. She was right. We really did."
"We really do," Luke corrected, looking almost nervously into her eyes. "You know when we were fighting those sentinels down there, something happened to me. To us. We were so close in the Force that it was like we had become a single person. It was . . . it was something very special."
She lifted and eyebrow, a flicker of amusement worming its way through even the deadly seriousness of the situation. There was such an oddly awkward earnestness to his expression. "Really?" she said. "How special."
He grimaced "You're not going to make this easy for me, are you?" ...
"Oh come now," she said mock accusingly. "When have I ever made anything easy for you?"
"Not very often," he conceded. Visibly bracing himself, he reached over and took her hands again. "Mara
. . . . will you marry me?" ...
Under other circumstances, she, knew, she would have probably considered herself honor - bound to make him sweat, just a little. But with the water still rising below them, such games seemed rather pointless. Besides, there was no reason for old defensive patterns to come into play. Not now. Not with him. "Yes," She said. "I will." from VISIONS OF THE FUTURE by Timothy Zahn
