❝ you'll be okay. ❞

CARINA CAREFULLY RAKED her fingers through her hair before plopping down into her bed.

Her eyes gazed up at the white ceiling, attempting to pull herself into any memory that could save her from the boredom she was feeling.

The woman unconsciously began fumbling with her ring finger, her thoughts now plagued by a certain man.

"Miss me?"

Carina jolted up from her laid down position, her eyes meeting Obi-Wan's force ghost who smiled at her.

The brunette narrowed her eyes slightly, "Look who showed up."

Kenobi crossed his arms over his chest, "Did my absence leave you bored?" Carina huffed lightly, "Hardly."

"I'll make sure to pass by more often then." Obi-Wan tilted his head at the woman, "How's it going in your imprisonment?"

Carina rolled her eyes, "Wonderful, actually. Who doesn't love looking at the same four walls every time they open their eyes?"

Obi-Wan kept in his chuckle before glancing towards the door, "How is he?"

Carina schooled her features before sighing out, "You know him. Stubborn as can be."

Kenobi looked deep in thought, "He's changing."

The mother scoffed, "I wouldn't say that either." Obi-Wan turned his attention back towards Algora, "He is, and you know it. After all, it is because of you."

Carina tore her eyes away from him, suddenly finding the window more interesting at that moment.

Obi-Wan blinked before speaking, "I thought my friend was dead, I gave up on him." Carina raised her eyes to meet his once again, "But you never did Carina."

The brunette chewed on her lower lip while he continued, "No matter how much you tried to convince yourself otherwise."

Algora ran a hand over her face, her chest heaving lightly, "That's the thing, how can I still hold hope for someone who caused so much destruction and pain? What does that say about me?"

Obi-Wan's eyes grew soft, "You have a good heart, Carina. You have always tried to see the best in those you love. You knew him better than anyone, if there is any person who could get to him... it's you."
