Author's notes: Pretty much stay on the episode plot here, just added a lil something extra at the end! Hope you enjoy! Excited to begin work on Ch11 :)

The wind howled as you, Hunter, Tech, and Wrecker continued working on the repairs of the very run-down speeder you had found in the spaceport.

Wrecker tossed his head back with an aggravated grunt. “I’m bored, I’m hot, and I’m starving.”

“I told you to preserve your rations.” You said with a small sympathetic smile.

“Well…” Wrecker sighed. “… I got hungry.” He tried to hammer in a part of the speeder, but it immediately fell back out. He dramatically sat away from it. “We’re wasting our time.” He grumbled. “This skiff’s a heap of junk.”

“Yes, but with a few repairs, it’ll be a slightly operational heap of junk.” Tech countered. “The energy cells have just enough power to get us to the town on the other half of the hemisphere.”

“Power?” Omega mused from where she was sitting. And then it hit her. She stood up excitedly. “We forgot about Gonky. He’s still on the Marauder.”

“I’m afraid since the thief disabled the ship’s transponder, we will not be able to locate him.” Tech said.

“Not the ship. I mean we can track Gonky.”

Brilliant. You applauded whilst Hunter nodded and smiled in her direction.

“Oh. Ingenious idea.” Tech praised. “Try doing a trace on his binary reference code.”

“On it.” Omega said determinedly as she walked over to the satellite.

Wrecker chuckled. “Don’t get your hopes up, kid.”

You chucked him a spare ration bar of yours which he eagerly accepted. “Shut up and keep working.” You said with a grin before you got back to your section.

“I’m getting a reading. I think I found Gonky!” Omega said with a gasp.

Wrecker released an absentminded laugh before he registered what she said. “You- What? You found him?”

Omega walked over to Hunter and Tech and showed Tech the datapad. “His signal is 100 kilometres east. If Gonky’s still on the planet, the Marauder must be too.”

“Let’s get this thing running and find out.” Hunter said.

Once the repair work was complete, Tech started directing you all to where you needed to sit in order for adequate weight distribution. He then told you and Hunter where to go.

Hunter nearly choked as he heard his brothers instructions.

“Sit on his lap?” You repeated, your mouth going dry. That was quite possibly the worse thing Tech could say to you right now. Situating yourself like that would not help quash the ever-present sexual frustration.

“Yes.” Tech replied simply before he got in position and powered up the speeder.

You refused to look at Hunter as you sat across his lap. Helmet or not, having that type of eye-contact would serve to make things worse. You kept your head down and your hold on his shoulders was anything but relaxed as Tech got the speeder in motion.

Hunter had an iron grip on your hips and his fingers were wrapping themselves tightly in your clothing. The jolty speeder ride was only adding to the pain of keeping himself under control.

It felt like eternity before you reached the destination.

Well, that was uncomfortable. Youlet out a deep sigh as you moved off him.

“Not exactly the word I would use.” Hunter mumbled as he stood up.

The five of you stared at the town in the distance ahead.

“Gonky’s signal is pinging from down there. I’m reading minimal life-forms in his proximity but an unknown number in the subterranean level.” Tech divulged.

“This place looks worse than the abandoned spaceport.” Wrecker said.

“We’ll do a split approach. Stay alert.” Hunter ordered.

“What am I gonna do with a defective power droid?” Benni said to the droid in front of him.

“That’s our defective power droid.”

Benni cowered at the voice turned around to see two armoured men staring down at him.

“Now, where’s our ship?” Hunter asked the young boy.

“Oh… You see, the thing is-” Benni dashed to the side and made for his speeder.

Hunter and Tech just shared a non-concerned look. They’d expected as much.

Wrecker stuck his arm out as the bike rounded the corner and the kid wiped out from his speeder.

Benni got up and tried to run again but he was forced to back down by a young girl with a bow and a woman pointing her blaster at his face.

“Why is it they always try to run?” You said, your tone filled with boredom as you holstered your blaster whilst Wrecker grabbed the boy and the four of you headed back in the direction of Hunter and Tech.

“Beats me.” Wrecker said before he tossed the kid to the ground in front of their lost droid. “Hey, Gonky, you okay?”

The droid let out a few cheery sounding chatters.

“What do you care how that thing’s doing?” Benni asked. “It’s just a beat-up old battery.”

“Not to us.” Omega said fiercely.

“Let’s try that again.” Hunter said to the boy as he took off his helmet. “Where’s our ship?” He asked aggressively.

“Can you be more specific?”

“The one you stole yesterday.” You clarified, finding his stall tactic unamusing.

“Oh, right. That ship.” Benni chuckled nervously. “Well, Mokko has it. He gave me the droid as a gift.”

“And who is this Mokko?” Tech asked.

“Who’s Mokko?” Benni repeated, stunned that none of you had any idea about him. He stood up. “He runs this whole town. He’s the boss. Your ship’s his now.”

“Yeah, we’ll see about that.” Wrecker barked.

“Take us to it.” Hunter ordered the boy as you all closed ranks a bit more to back him further into the corner.

“No way. I can’t help you go against Mokko. You don’t know what he’s done for me.” But one quick growl from the tall one had his shaky resilience crumble. “All right, all right. I can show you where your ship is. But if you get caught, you don’t know me.”

“Techno Union ran this mine during the war, but Mokko took over when they were forced out. He’s kept this operation running ever since.” Benni elucidated as he showed you all what lay below.

“So, you’re an ipsium miner and a ship thief?” Omega challenged.

Benni turned back to the girl. “Mokko says they’re useful skills.”

“Stealing’s not a skill.”

“It is when you’re good at it.”

Tech brought up a holomap. “The central portal is ray-shielded, and all subterranean entrances appear to be guarded in shifts.”

“Ah, we’ve stormed tougher strongholds than that.” Wrecker said, dismissing any potential threat.

“You can’t use blasters inside an ipsium mine. You’ll destroy everything and everyone in there.” Benni pointed out. “Cut your losses now.”

“There is one covert infiltration point.” Tech said before he pointed it out. “From there.”

A large cloud of exhaust left the top of it.

“Figures.” You said with a sigh.

“The stack has a lower access hatch inside. If timed correctly, we can rappel down between exhaust cycles.” Tech explained.

Hunter looked at it through his macrobinoculars. “How big of a window is there?”

“Sixty seconds.” Tech replied.

“Plenty of time.” You and Omega said together.

“Glad you’re all so confident, but getting cooked alive wasn’t on my agenda. Good luck. I’m rooting for you.” Benni got up and turned to leave.

You placed your hand on his shoulder to prevent him from going any further.

“You can go once we have our ship back.” Hunter said coolly before he signalled to you to let him go.

“Oh, boy.” Wrecker said anxiously as he looked down from the top of the exhaust vent at the town. He really needed to stop doing that. It was then though he noticed the boy trying to slip past. He grabbed him and led him over to where the rest of you were.

“Set.” Hunter told Tech.

“On my mark.” Tech replied as a rush of steam was released.

“This is a very bad idea.” Benni fretted.

Please be careful.

Hunter nodded at you before he went over to the edge of the vent.

Tech’s timer beeped. “Now.”

You were glad your mask was on because it meant you could appreciate how much of a show off he was being without drawing attention to yourself. He didn’t have to stand up like that and he didn’t have to gracefully tip over the side like that, but he did it anyway. He was playing with the time he had, and you found it both attractive and amusing. You only hoped that would be the main thing you were feeling as he did this since you knew even the simplest appearing tasks tended to go wrong so you watched closely from the top as he made his way down.

Hunter got just over halfway down before he had to stop as a droid entered the bottom of the vent. He waited quietly as the droid analysed the area.

“You said it was unguarded.” You hissed at Tech. Now you were starting to get nervous. Sixty seconds had felt like plenty of time but now it was disappearing rapidly.

“It was at the time.”

“Thirty seconds.” Omega whispered.

“He’s not gonna make it. I’m telling you. You gotta bail before it’s too late.” Benni said in a panic.

“We don’t do that.” Omega replied.

“This is not good. This is not good.” Benni fretted.

Omega gasped as he knocked the torch out of her hand, and it started to fall.

You got ready to reveal yourself and stop it, the trouble it would cause being worth it if it protected Hunter’s cover, but you didn’t need to. What a show off. You thought to yourself as you watched him catch it. Despite the nerve-wracking situation, you couldn’t help but have a moment of falling victim to the base feelings attraction. The entire build up was filled with small, subtle moments that highlighted his skills and they were enough to get your blood to run hot. If you weren’t already too far gone and in love with him, you’d have been embarrassed at how easily he was able to reduce you to a hot mess.

Those feelings swiftly evaporated as you realised time was still ticking away. “Hunter, you have to move.” You urged into your comm.

Hunter pushed off the wall to move a few more metres down before he pushed off the wall and leaped towards the droid. He tackled it and used the momentum of tumbling forward to kick the droid over him. He got to his feet quickly and parried the hits from the droid. When there was an opening, he pulled it towards him and pushed him into the middle of the vent. He opened the door and dived through just as time ran out.

You all ducked as the hot exhaust exited the vent.

Hunter checked the space ahead before cleared the steam. “All clear.” He said into his comm.

Benni glanced warily between all of you. “You definitely aren’t ipsium miners.”

“Nope. You stole the wrong ship.” Omega said smugly.

You all slid down the wire and joined Hunter in the next corridor.

“Let’s move.” Hunter said.

You gave him a meaningful glance but ignored the questioning tilt of his head as he caught your eyes.

Benni held a finger to his lips as he glanced back behind him before he looked on and waited for the right moment to move out.

You took in the scenes in front of you. The various doors and settlements built within the mine were all connected by a series of bridges, and it appeared the workforce consisted of children and young adults that were watched on by security droids. It was by no means a safe environment and you knew these kids were being mistreated in some way or another.

“The conditions of this mine are less than ideal.” Tech commented.

“It’s because the ipsium’s become degraded.” Benni explained. “Mokko had to lower wages just to keep this mine up and running. At least we’re still working.” He changed the subject as he saw a gap opening up. “Your ship’s in the upper garage bay across from the central tower. Come on. I know a shortcut.”

Hunter caught his shoulder before he moved. “No tricks.” He warned.

“Hey, I’m not trying to get caught either.” Benni said by means of reassurance. He led the way to the garage.

You all had removed your coverings once you realised the garage was secure and you saw the welcome sight of the Marauder.

“Well, there’s your ship.” Benni stated as you all walked into the garage. “I held up my end of the bargain, so I’ll be off.” He turned on his heels and went to leave.

“Hang on.” Tech held a hand out to keep him from turning back. He walked over to examine the ship. “The hyperdrive has been removed.”

The rest of you glared at the young boy.

“You didn’t ask me what condition it’d be in. How’s that my fault?” Benni said defensively.

Wrecker lightly shoved the kid in the back and walked off with a frustrated growl.

“Relax. It’s not a complicated fix.” Benni said breezily.

“It better not be.” Wrecker growled.

“Grab the hyperdrive. Let’s make this quick.” Huner ordered Wrecker whilst you and him got to work on checking out the rest of the ship.

“What about the ray shield? We still need to shut it down.” Omega reminded you all.

“You can only do that from the central tower.” Benni stated.

“Let’s go.” You said as you half turned to face him.

“No way.” Benni objected. “You stick out too much. If you don’t trust me to go alone, she’ll blend in easily enough.” He indicated to the young girl who was still stood next to him.

Hunter considered the proposition for a moment before he spoke to Omega, “Don’t let him out of your sight.”

Tech walked over and handed a spare datapad to Omega. “Transfer the data onto this and I can access the shield remotely.”

“Let’s go.” Omega got ready to hassle out, but the boy stopped her with a scoff.

“Not looking like that.” Benni said before he handed her his jacket.

“How’s is looking?” Hunter said into his comm as he kept a lookout for any potential trouble.

“I can get most of the systems back online easily enough, but we are not going anywhere until we get the hyperdrive reconnected.” Tech said from inside the ship as he lay underneath the main console.

“We’re working on it.” Wrecker replied testily as he held another part in place for you to secure.

More time passed and you were now keeping guard with Hunter on top of the ship since Tech had insisted that he do the next set of repairs himself and you were fine with that- you knew he’d be faster, and he knew the ship better than you.

“The motivator is installed, but I still have to connect the primaries to the guidance system and adjust the navicomputer.” Tech commed in from where he was now under the ship.

“Weapons system’s online.” Wrecker added.

“We’re not engaging.” Hunter informed. “The situation for these kids is bad enough.”

“Mokko appears to be using his powers and means as leverage over his workers. It is a similar tactic used by the Empire.” Tech theorised. “Although, this operation is on a smaller scale.”

It was then you saw from your position two kids climbing up the ladder to the garage. You nudged Hunter’s arm and the two of you hid behind part of one of the wings of the ship.

“Didn’t Bryce and Hugh say they removed the hyperdrive?” One of the kids asked his companion as he studied the scene in front of him. It was then he saw two men working below it. “Hey, who are you?”

“Uh, Mokko sent us.” Wrecker said.

The wary looks the two boys gave each other didn’t fill you with confidence. You and Hunter jumped down and slowly approached them.

“Easy.” Hunter said steadily.

“We’re just here for our ship.” You said calmy but it wasn’t any good. The two boys darted back down, and you and Hunter were left with little choice but to follow them before they blew your cover.

“Get the engines online.” Was Hunter’s last order to Tech and Wrecker before he followed you down the ladder.

“Any luck with the shield code?” Benni asked tiredly. She had been at it for a while now and was showing no signs of being any closer.

“Not yet.” Omega said as she stayed focused on her task. “Most of this data is just Mokko’s profit reports. I thought you said the ipsium here’s degraded.”

“It is.” Benni replied.

“Not according to this.” Omega said as she studied the numbers on the datapad.

“Let me see that.” Benni approached her and looked at the screen but then, thanks to his earlier actions of alerting Mokko to their presence when they had first entered the room that he was now immediately regretting, Mokko and two security droids came through the door.

“My thief caught another thief. Nicely done, Benni.” Mokko said gleefully as he limped towards the young girl. “I’m impressed. Where are the others?”

Omega gave Benni an accusatory look before she was back up further by the imposing creature in front of her. Mokko looked to be more machine than anything else.

“Garage bay.” Benni answered glumly. “Sorry. I had to.” He said to her.

“That’s my boy.” Mokko praised. “The title of top earner is definitely in your future.”

Mokko left first and Omega was escorted out by the two droids, leaving Benni with the datapad.

You and Hunter ran sprinted through the door and glanced around but you couldn’t see the two boys anymore.

“Dammit.” You whispered, more to yourself if anything. Then Tech’s voice came through the comm channel.

“The hyperdrive is nearly online.”

Hunter sighed as he responded, “We lost our spies.”

“And they called in backup.” You said as you saw more people walk on the bridge in the distance. You and Hunter pulled out your blasters and kept your eyes on the bridge.

“It appears we have uninvited guests.” Mokko said as he walked across the bridge. “Care to show yourselves?”

Tech and Wrecker instantly came through the door that opened onto the bridge with their blasters drawn.

“So, you think you can come here and steal from me?” He asked the intruders angrily.

“Technically, this ship belongs to us.” Tech disputed.

“Not anymore! And I’d rethink the blasters.” He chuckled sinisterly. “One stray shot, and we’re all done for.”

“We don’t miss.” Wrecker said confidently.

Mokko merely laughed again. “I believe you, but I think you’ll reconsider.” He indicated up to a half-built bridge where the young girl he’d captured was being dragged to the edge of.

You all looked up to the sound of Omega’s struggles and immediately the stakes had changed.

“Lower your weapons, or she goes over.”

Tech and Wrecker dropped them slightly.

You also put your away whilst Hunter brought out the grappling hook from his pack.

You could tell what the type of plan that was formulating in his head. You or me?

“Probably better to have you on standby in case this doesn’t quite go to plan.”

Just make sure it goes to plan.

“Trespassing and attempted theft. Ten years in the mines seems like a reasonable punishment, if you survive that long.” Mokko sneered at the two men. “Take them below.” He instructed his workers.

Wrecker and Tech shared a nervous glance as the kids advanced towards them.

“Stop!” Benni yelled as he came out of Mokko’s office with the datapad that illuminated the lies he and his fellow earners had been told.

“Not now, kid. I’m busy.” Mokko said dismissively.

Benni wasn’t going to be dissuaded and he everyone deserved to know the truth. “You lied to us, Mokko. The ipsium’s not degrading! You’ve been cutting us out and keeping the profits for yourself!”

“That’s a lie. Don’t listen to him!”

“You never cared about us at all.” Benni spat angrily. “And I have the proof right here.” He held up the datapad.

“Let me see that.” Drake took it from him and saw the truth for himself. He scoffed, “What’s going on, Mokko? We toil down in the mines while you enjoy the spoils?”

Mokko could feel the odds turning against him as all the kids stopped paying attention to the two soldiers and were now fixing their gazes onto him. “I was taking my share! None of you would’ve survived without me! Don’t forget that.” He nodded to his droids to take up position both in front and behind him before he then turned his attention to the droid with the young girl. “Throw her over!”

Omega saw the grappling hook wrap around one of the bridge posts and she knew what she had to do as the droid started to drag her to the edge. She held onto its arm and waited for Hunter to get closer and once he was, she used all her strength to pull the droid over with her. The droid past her and fell into the chasm below but she reached out her hand and found Hunter’s who held onto her tightly as they followed the line of the grappling hook back to the bridge.

Hunter guided her onto his pack and she climbed onto his shoulders to get back onto firm ground.

Such a beautiful fucking show off. You thought to yourself with a longing sigh as you watched him catch Omega and they both successfully made it back to the bridge. You drew your blaster again and watched for what was going to happen on the bridge next.

“No one’s going to take what belongs to me.” Mokko said, his panic rising as his ranks closed in around him. “Take care of all of them!”

Tech and Wrecker each fired a shot that disabled the droids before they had a chance to follow Mokko’s order.

Mokko raised his cane as his head darted between the two groups surrounding him. “I’ll deal with you myself.”

You fired a shot that skimmed the right by his foot and that, plus the added momentum of the careless swing of his cane as his ranks closed in on him saw him go over the side of the bridge.

Mokko’s cane caught on the bars, and he dangled helplessly.

“Grab my hand!” Benni cried as he reached between the bars for Mokko.

Mokko merely sniggered and used his mechanical claw to get a tight hold of Benni’s outstretched hand and tried to pull him through. “You never should’ve crossed me, kid.”

Benni grunted in discomfort but was grateful to the hands that kept him secure. He could only watch as the grip Mokko’s other hand had on his cane failed him and he fell screaming into the abyss below.

With Mokko’s reign ended, the five of you were able to get back to your ship and get ready to leave.

You stood by Omega and Hunter whilst Tech performed some final checks and Wrecker greeted Gonky.

“Good to have you back.” Wrecker said with a chuckle as he lifted Gonky.

You caught the exchange out the corner of your eye, and it made you smile.

“Here’s your stuff.” Benni said as he steered the platform in front of the three of you.

“All of it?” Hunter asked with a firm stare.

“Yeah, don’t you trust me?” The immediate silence to Benni’s question was answer enough. “Okay, that’s fair. But it’s all there.”

You and Hunter took it over to the ship, leaving Omega alone with him.

“So, what will all of you do now?” Omega asked.

“I guess we’ll keep mining ipsium. It’s what we know.”

“You can be whatever you want.” Omega said encouragingly. “It’s a big galaxy. You don’t have to stay here.”

“It’s not so bad. And with Mokko gone, we’ll all be getting an equal share of the profits now.” A voice in the distance got his attention.

“Benni, chow time!”

Benni waved over in acknowledgement before he focused on the young girl again. “Thanks for showing me the truth. Hey, if you ever need a thief, I owe you.”

Omega smiled as she watched him go before, she got lost in thought.

“What is it?” Tech asked, noticing her demeanour as he approached her.

“The Empire’s not the only threat.” She turned to face him. “We’ve seen so many in the galaxy like Mokko.”

“Unfortunately, yes.” Tech agreed solemnly but he looked back to where the rest of you were putting the stuff back in the Marauder. “But there are many like us as well. And that is something.” He said with a slight smile as he rested a hand on her shoulder.

The two of them joined the rest of you on the ship before it took off.

“You’re supposed to be following the examples of the others and be sleeping.” You chastised quietly as Hunter came to join you in the cockpit. He was in his sleep clothes with the necklace you’d given on display. It was a sight that never failed to get your heart beating just that extra beat faster.

“You’ve spoiled me. It would seem that getting to sleep is more difficult without you next to me.” Hunter admitted as he came to sit in the chair opposite you. “Anything to report?”

“Not a thing.”

“Makes a change.” Hunter mused.

You nodded in agreement and ran your hands up and down your bare arms. “You know we’ll have to get in touch with Cid at some point?” You asked carefully.

Hunter released a tired sigh and hunched over. “I know. Figured I’d let us all catch up on some rest and then bite the bullet.”

“And the plan is still to part ways?”

“Yeah. What just happened proved we can’t stay with her. Don’t exactly know where we’ll go but…”

“We’ll figure it out?” You guessed with a smile.

Hunter huffed out a laugh. “Exactly.”

“Sounds good to me.” You moved from your seat and crossed the short distance to stand in front of him.

“Thought you were on watch?” Hunter said with a smirk as he leaned back to allow you to sit, and he let his hands fall to your hips.

“Lucky for me, there’s another set of eyes here.” You threaded your hands through the ends of his hair and tilted his head back.

Hunter suppressed a groan, “This isn’t- this isn’t very professional.” His voice lacking any sort of authority that he was only unenthusiastically trying to find anyway.

“Would you like me to call you ‘sir’ then?” You flirted as you brought your lips to temptingly close to his, but you didn’t close the distance yet.

“Fuck.” Hunter rasped.

“Or ‘sergeant’?” You breathed against his lips.

Hunter sighed deeply. The limited willpower he possessed was rapidly evaporating.

“Or I can stop.” You offered sincerely. You traced the small Jedi symbol on the necklace and pulled back to look at him properly.

Fuck, no, he didn’t want that at all. “It’s just- I don’t know if there’s time for- or even if we should-”

“I know. Wrecker takes over in ten minutes. Let us have this.” You knew things couldn’t get too hot and heavy with the limited time you had, and you didn’t want things to extend that far given the current living situation but you both just needed a moment, not matter how small. You bridged the gap and kissed him.

Hunter’s hands caressed your back as he kissed you back. “I noticed some interesting things on this past mission.” Hunter said as he broke away and let you plant some light kisses to his neck and jaw.

You recognised the teasing and inviting lilt in his voice, but you played along. “Oh yeah?”

He curled a finger under your chin to stop you and bring your eyes to his. “There were quite a few instances were your heartbeat and body temperature skyrocketed.”

You couldn’t prevent a natural reaction to seeing him be as capable as he was during the mission, but you should’ve known it wouldn’t have gone unnoticed. “I don’t um know what you could possibly be uh referring to. You’re mistaken.”

It was Hunter’s turn now to take his time paying attention to you. You were also in your sleep clothes, so he had free reign. His lips left a trail across your clavicle. “I’m not wrong about this sorta thing. It’s in my genes to be right.”

“First time for everything.” You deflected, biting back a sigh as you let your head hang back to give him more access to your neck.

“You’re squirming.” Hunter teased quietly.

“I am not.” You argued half-heartedly as you were becoming more focused on the feeling of his lips on your bare skin.

“You are. Don’t really think I’ve seen you squirm before…” He trailed off to focus his ministrations on the sensitive spot just behind your ear. His lips grazed the shell of your ear before he murmured, “What was it?”

You couldn’t resist. You could bare the humiliation so long as he just kept doing what he was doing. “You, you ass.”

Hunter smiled against your mouth. He kissed you softly before he turned his attention to the other side of your neck. “Keep talking.”

“You were- you were just so unnecessarily capable and- and you were showing off with it. And dammit it you looked really fucking hot. Is that what you wanted to hear?” You let out a soft groan as he gently bit down on your pulse point.

“I should do things like that more often if it gets you like this.”

“You’re just saying that cause I’m on your lap as I’m doing it.” You said shakily as an attempted deflection but the smirk you felt against the skin on your neck told you that it wasn’t a very good one. You sometimes forgot that as easy as it was for you to read him and get a glimpse into what he was feeling, it was just as easy for him to do it back, if not more so. You sought out his mouth once more but you both paused at the faint noise in the background.

The sound of rustling in the corridor behind you and the indication of boots hitting the floor told you both that your time was up. You got to your feet and hastily went back to your original seat. You made it with a perfectly respectable number of seconds to spare.

“Thing’s are good here, Wrecker. Can’t imagine you’ll have to do much.” You informed as you and Hunter stood up.

Wrecker gave you a thumbs up. He didn’t question why Hunter appeared to be with you. He’d honestly expected as much and was just happy he hadn’t interrupted anything. “You two go get some sleep.”

You and Hunter made your way back to your bunk and within moments of lying down, the two of you fell fast asleep, comfortable, and secure in each other’s arms.
