If only it was as easy as asking for him to stay. Stay where? It wasn't as though Jelucan was here home - for all intents and purposes, Jyn Erso was a homeless wanderer. It wouldn't be fair to ask Rilio to leave everything he knew for a life as hard as the one she lived.
And to say I want to go with you ...
That was really rather presumptuous, wasn't it? They had barely known each other for a small handful of hours. They didn't even know each other's real names. So why - and how - had she gotten so attached so quickly and so easily?
And why did the thought of parting leave her feeling empty and cold? Jyn didn't want to think about it, didn't want to deal with the wreckage of her heart all over again, although she knew that it was probably inevitable.
Jyn sighed softly, let herself relax a little, curled her fingers into his shirt as if to anchor the both of them to the moment, to keep them from drifting into worries and fears of what was to come.
"You're going to be hard to forget. But then - I don't want to forget. I want to remember every single moment of this."

A breath. A heartbeat, another -
"Kiss me."
