I was so close to saying Ben, but I resisted it.
"Matt," I said, "I want to show you something."
I grabbed his hand and noticed the eye twitch and gulp that always seems to be his default reaction around me.
I walked him across the desert of Jakku until we reached what I used to call home.
I led him inside the old ship. "Welcome home," I said, stepping inside.
He paced around for a couple seconds and then picked up my old doll that I made to look like a resistance soldier. He squeezed it as he walked over to my wall.
He traced his fingers across the marks. "This is how long you were here," he asked. It was barely a question though. More of a statement.
"This is how long you were here after your parents sold you off." He sounded hurt. He sounded almost offended by the idea that I stayed in this junky ship in Jakku for that long.
I grinned. Ben was coming through. I looked at the tic marks on the wall. The wait was paying off.
"How did you know that, Matt?" I almost fakely asked, moving closer to him. He turned and faced me. I had to look up to make eye contact.
