Ashlea nodded, still watching the stars thinking about what he had said for a moment. "Sometimes it is best to not question these things." She looked across at him and smiled. "Things happen as they do for a reason." She looked up again as he did and closed her eyes. "A Rogue and a Zoner....." She shook her head. "Down here, I just feel like another person. I'm not wanted, no one is trying to kill me.... and I am in good company."
She moved slightly in the chair as she tried to cover a yawn. "Unlikely pair as we are... I'm glad we did meet...." She smiled as she quietly added "Fate or not." She was fighting to stay awake, wishing the night would never end. She opened her eyes and watched him sitting in the chair. She was, for the first time in too long, genuinely happy.
