Karen Traviss Quote

She held her hand out to him. He hesitated for a moment and then reached across the table and took it. We could be dead tomorrow, both of us, she said. Or the next day, or next week. That’s war. She thought of the other Fi, whose life had ebbed away in her arms. And I don’t want to die without telling you that I missed you every day since you left, and that I love you, and that I don’t believe what I was taught about attachment any more than you should believe that you were bred only to die for the Republic. This was breaking all the rules. But the war had broken all the rules of peacekeeping Jedi and a civilized Republic anyway. The Force wouldn’t be thrown into turmoil if a mediocre Jedi and a cloned soldier who had no rights broke just one more. I never stopped thinking about you, either, said Darman. Not for a moment.
