Within the Force (Star Wars fan fic) Book One

She gave him an amused smile, and he felt himself melting in confusion and wonder.

"Are you an angel?" he suddenly blurted out.

Ashlyn raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked back at Padmé, who seemed very amused by this, before looking back at the boy.

"What?"

"An angel," Anakin repeated. "They live on the Moons of Lego, I think. They are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They are good and kind, and so pretty they make even the most hardened space pirates cry like small children."

Ashlyn looked at him, not knowing what to say. She wasn't one to constantly receive compliments and when she did, they were simple 'You look nice' or 'You're very smart' and... well, mostly normal common compliments, but never has she been complimented to look like an angel, not even by her boyfriend or any other guy who have had a crush on her.

She opened her mouth and closed it multiple times before finally letting out a small laugh in slight disbelief. This little boy was really something. "I'm flattered you think of me as such, but I'm not..." she trailed off, not sure how to finish.

"You must be one of them," Anakin insisted. "Maybe you just don't know it."
