045 - A Simple Question Makes You Look Away... voicesinmyhead
He's right.

I do get into debates and arguments easier than I can answer a simple question like the one he put to me.

I know he's right. I can admit that he is right. I just don't know how to bring myself to answer the question that he has asked.

"What do you feel, Leia?"

Yes, I did look away when he asked me that question. I didn't look away for the reasons he and others might suspect, though.

I looked away from his question because I DO know what I feel. I know how I feel, but not how to answer Han's question.

"What do you feel, Leia?"

I feel a great many things -- especially where he is concerned. I know what I feel when it comes to him, yet I just don't know what I should tell him.

He's leaving soon. He has made no secret of his plans when the repairs to his ship are completed. He has always been honest about this. He's leaving soon, and so I dare not tell him that I love him. The space pirate.

Better that I should look away when the question is asked. Look away from him and avoid answering the question that causes my heart to break everytime I think about him leaving.
