“Then take this opportunity to learn,” he said with a lopsided smile. “Let’s play a game. We may ask each other three questions and we must answer honestly, no matter what it is.” 
Miss Palpatine looked dubious. “Any question?”
Ben met her eyes. “Any question. Would you like to go first?”
“Yes.” She looked away and for a few moments they strolled in silence. Ben assumed she was creating her list, just as he was. “All right.”
“Ask away.”

Sneak Peek
Dame Holdo herself appeared, as if summoned by Rey’s words. Rey smiled brightly, sincerely delighted to see the dame. After the two women bowed to each other, Dame Holdo turned to Hux, who bowed as well. 
“Mr. Hux, do excuse me, but I must introduce Rachel to someone.”
Before Hux could express the displeasure that was written all over his pale face, Rey was tugged through the crowd by her illustrious hostess. 
In the last direction she expected or wanted.
“Ben, my dear!”

Sneak peek
Rey’s finger hovered over Ben’s image in her phone. Anxiety threatened to overwhelm her, fear that he wouldn’t pick up or if he did they would get into another fight and the situation would worsen. 
With a deep breath she pushed those fears aside and got within a millimeter of pushing the button when a taxi pulled up to the house. Distracted, Rey lowered her phone. The taxi door opened and the last person she ever expected to see hopped out. 
“Han!”

Sneak peek
Ben shot out of his chair, hands gripping Snoke’s coat like a vice. “You don’t go anywhere near my daughter,” he growled. 
“Then do as you’re told.” Snoke shoved Ben away, forcing him back against his desk. The two men glared at each other for a few seconds, warring for command. To his shame, Ben looked away first.
Victorious, Snoke straightened his rumpled suit and his expression became passive, but there was a rage simmering just beneath. 
“I want this election won, Solo. I don’t care about the cost.”

Sneak peek
“You’re gonna be just fine, sweetheart.”
“Says the man used to facing down a thousand cameras,” Rey muttered. 
Bree wasn’t paying any attention to her parents. Her face was pressed against the car window as they rolled up to the entrance. At least she wasn’t intimidated.
“Says the guy who knows you,” Ben retorted gently. “And there aren’t a thousand cameras. More like…a hundred.”
“Yeah. A hundred cameras is so, so different from a thousand.”
The limousine came to a stop and two attendants in blue jackets approached the door. Rey’s hand tightened around Ben’s, but her attention was on the crowd outside. 
“Hey.” Rey turned to him and he leaned in to kiss her chastely. “I’m with you,” he whispered against her cheek. “Just follow my lead.”

Chapter 12
A passionate night leads to a heated discussion. Ben is visited by Snoke.
-
Sneak peek
“Do not make any hasty decisions, Benjamin,” Snoke continued. He planted his hands on Ben’s desk, his eyes shining. “Your future is in the Senate. You have raw, untamed power. The potential of your bloodline to exact the change the Republic needs. Your mother yes, but your grandfather as well. Your grandfather, a former president. You, my young protege, are the future.”
Ben couldn’t look away from Snoke, enthralled by the glorious future he promised. He believed Ben could make the Republic better as a senator and become president, like Anakin Skywalker, and do even more. 
Surely Rey and Bree would understand that.

“What the hell just happened?” Rey exclaimed. Her hands were shaking; her face - and her daughter’s face - were blasted on every screen in Chandrila and probably nationwide.
“I don’t know,” Ben growled, his phone at his ear. “But I’m gonna find out.”
“What do you-” he held up a finger and Rey paused. 
“Mitaka. Get me Snoke. Now.”

Dedicated to @morphobluetravels who is the beta for these upcoming chapters and an awesome person!

a reylo head canon
One of the things Ben loves about Rey is that she never curses. She says ridiculous things instead. Like “holy shiitake” (but pronounced ‘sheet-ake’). Rey doesn’t curse at people, or even in bed. They could be in the deepest throes of love-making and out of her mouth would come “oh, fudge pizza!”
It never fails to make him laugh. Which interrupts the passion, but only for a few seconds, followed by a shared smile, kisses, and a quick resumption. As far as Ben is concerned, she can say whatever she wants, because all he cares about is that when she sighs, groans, screams…it’s with his name.
