"Papa!" Jyn squealed as she was swung around in a circle.

Her feet touched the ground, her father's arms wrapping around her.

Jyn giggled as she was led step-by-step, back and forth across the floor, her braids swinging behind her. She looked up at her father and smiled. He lifted her small arm and twirled her around him.

After steadying herself, Jyn noticed her mother standing in the doorway watching. She had a smile on her lips. Jyn ran to her mother and pulled her arm, leading her towards her father.

Jyn watched as her mother and father started to dance, effortlessly moving across the room like a melody. Jyn had seen a dance before at one of the theaters when they had moved back to Coruscant.

She laughed when her father lifted her mother up into his arms and spun her around in a circle, their gazes locked onto one another.

Her parents were happy.

It had been a long time since she had heard her mother's laughter.
