Recovery is less of a hardship when she woke up to the glorious view of Anakin Skywalker every day. Cassandra mused, as Anakin rinsed the shampoo from her hair with an intent look of concentration. With her head tipped back over the sink, she smiled awkwardly up at him. "They have orderlies for this, you know."

Wringing out her heavy mane, Anakin eased her up from the sink and brushed her hair in long even strokes. Threading his fingers gently through the wet strands, he worked the knots free. "Don't be sad. None of this is your fault."

Anakin perched on the side of the bed, feeding her like it was the most natural thing in the world. It's both touching and embarrassing to have her boyfriend spoon-feeding her like a toddler.
