    Summary

    He can't really look away from her face, which must probably be weird, but she's so – beautiful, almost mesmerizing, with sharp features and yet a softness about her that leaves him breathless. It's this weird duality – the stubborn expression on her face and yet the unexpected kindness in the back of her eyes – that captivates him and this is probably the moment that changes his life forever, a fixed point in time, the exact instant in which his existence splits in two.

    Or, the moment Ben Solo falls head-over-heels in love with Rey Niima, two minutes after meeting her, like the hopeless romantic idiot he is.

    -- or: tired of being around every time his roommate Poe invites his boyfriend over, Ben seeks refuge in Rey's room, until he's there most of the times (even when Poe's not around).

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, I don’t know if I’m ready to say it back, because I’ve never done this before and I don’t know what it’s supposed to feel like, and I should be sure before I say it, right? But I’m happy that you love me, okay, Ben, is that okay?”

    “It’s okay,” he would say, and smile with the crinkles by his eyes, and kiss her cheek and her forehead. “It’s very okay.”

    ----------

    Rey would do anything to give her beloved friend the perfect engagement celebration—even pretend that she never broke up with her ex. Even share a bed with him.

    Summary

    Reina “Rey” Jaffa knows a thing or two about the ways people disappear. They all do, at Resistencia Investigations. So when Ben Solo’s mother comes calling with a case that ought to be cold, something about the way the rich boy vanished doesn't sit right. Digging deep into the roots of a sunny California town, Rey finds a web of crime that stretches from Mexico to Japan, but even the dark business of gamblers and smugglers can't provide the answers she’s looking for. What connects a runaway maid, an inherited orchard, an ominously-named river, and a dangerous man on a Vincent Black Knight motorcycle?

    Every town has its sins, and every sin has its price, but it's not always the guilty who pay. Nobody knows that better than Rey.

    Except maybe Ben Solo.

    Summary

    All Sorrows Are Less with Bread - Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

    "I hope you're hungry," she says, offering the bowl again.
    He isn't, even though he hasn't eaten anything since yesterday. His nerves have turned his stomach into a lump of rock.
    He pauses for a second, not quite sure if he should force himself to eat something, partially because it would be the polite thing to do and partially because he knows that his body needs sustenance, but it seems he has hesitated too long.
    Rey pulls the bowl back, cradling it to her stomach.
    "Oh, I am sorry, I shouldn't..." she wipes her nose on her sleeve, "I mean, of course you don't want this. You don't have to eat it."
    He blinks, confused and aching, for she seems so upset all of a sudden.
    "No, no, it's alright," he says, holding a hand out for the dish, "I should probably eat something."
    She sniffs again and looks down at the ground.
    "You really don't have to."
    He sighs.
    "Please Rey," he reaches out a little further, his fingertips almost grazing her arm-wraps, "it smells really good."

    OR

    Five times Rey tells Ben that she loves him, using the only love-language she knows, and one time that Ben finally gets it.
