Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Page 12

by Patricia C. Wrede


  The Holy Man blessed them, and Anakin turned to smile down at her. Padmé smiled back, trying to set her misgivings aside. He raised his hand to her shoulder—his right hand, the one that was now only a clever mechanical imitation of a real arm. Was it only her imagination, or were the wires and metal too cool against her neck?

  Anakin’s blue eyes darkened and his smile faded slightly. Did he sense the doubts she had tried to hide, or was it his own uncertainty she saw in his eyes? It would destroy us, he had said, and he had sounded so sure, as if he knew. But he had lost so much; surely he didn’t have to lose this, too. Not doing this would destroy us, too, Padmé thought. We’ll make it work. Somehow.

  Then Anakin bent and kissed her, and she had no more doubts. There was only Anakin, and the scent of the dying roses in the garden below.
