The two stranded together on Tatooine find common ground despite their differences, and above all a hope within the other for something greater than themselves. He hopes for her to rejoin the order, while she hopes for him to leave, and both are left reeling from their illicit affair, until ten years later he is once again called to her sister's service and they are catapulted into each other's lives by a war that will set them on the same path of secrecy and tragedy.
