Anakin wakes up to see Evelyn sleeping peacefully at his side, nestled to the side of his chest. He closes his eyes, remembering all events of the past eight hours, smiling to himself.
She'll never really know how much he loves her.
Evelyn starts to stir, rolling over to the side of the bed as she opens her eyes, seeing Anakin staring lovingly at her, "Hi," she says softly, resting her hand on his cheek.
Anakin's smile grows wider than the sun, "Hello, beautiful," he says, causing Evelyn to grow a serious blush on her face, "Sleep good?"
Evelyn rolls her eyes, "Please," she says, scooting over to stretch, "Best sleep of my life," she whispers before giving Anakin a loving kiss before nestling into his chest, closing her eyes again, "What's today looking like?"
Anakin thinks, "I have to meet Obi Wan for lunch," he says, excited, "Not have to, but just we planned it."
Evelyn nods in understanding, "Okay," she mumbles before wrapping her arms around Anakin, drifting back to sleep, not yet wanting to talk about whatever last night was.

Anakin sprints into Dex's Diner, running late for his meal, "Sorry I'm late, Obi Wan," Anakin apologizes, "I slept late," he says, sitting down in the booth across from his friend.
Obi Wan waves him off, "Oh it's quite alright, I only just got here," he reassures, taking a sip of his drink, "So what did you need to talk about?"
Anakin and Obi Wan talk for a few more minutes before Anakin spits out a question, "You and the Duchess more than friendly, weren't you?" Obi Wan's jaw drops, "I'm sorry, I know she meant a lot to you."
Obi Wan waves his friend off, "No no, it's quite alright," he says, taking another sip of his drink, "Satine and I were always very complicated," Obi Wan explains, "When I was a young padawan, I was protecting her from a group of insurgents in the wake of her appointment to Duchess..."
Anakin cuts Obi Wan off, sensing the pain his friend feels, "I am sorry, Obi Wan," Anakin says, "I know how important she was to you," Anakin and Obi Wan sit in silence for a good while.
Obi Wan pauses to stop the tears threatening to leak out of his eyes, "I loved her just as you love Evelyn," Anakin's eyes go wide, fumbling over his thoughts, not being able to get words out, "Oh come on, you really think I'm that stupid?"
Anakin regains his words, "No, master, I just-"
"Didn't expect me to go against the code?" Obi Wan finishes for his brother, "Trust me, Anakin, if there's anything you should have learned over the past thirteen years is that you always keep an open mind," Obi Wan says as the two fall into comfortable silence, "Are you happy?" Obi Wan asks, breaking the silence.
