[ Rey exhales, knowing that this is a sore topic for Ben. It's strange in so many ways, because she would give anything to have what he had, family that loved him. She can't entirely sympathize with his anger, but at the same time, she understands it. She was abandoned, he was neglected. ]

People can change, Ben. I feel like you and I are proof that something that happens in the moment shouldn't necessarily define you for the rest of your life.

[He sighs, just letting his arms wrap around her and trying not to let his temper get the better of him. He wished she could just be on his side in this, that she could be as angry on his behalf as he was for what happened. She's been spending enough time with his family now that he almost feels like they poison her against him. He has to push that thought away as soon as it comes.]

I'm sorry. I can't just... pretend the last six years didn't happen. I wish I could.

[He might wish that he could pretend it all didn't happen but that didn't mean he was ready to let it go. It was funny considering he preached to her about letting the past die.]

I'm sorry I brought it up. Let's just... lay here I guess. I keep opening my mouth and things keep coming out.

[ Frowning she leans her head against his shoulder, tense but trying not to be. She wants to help him get all of this out, but she just doesn't know how. Rubbing her hand over the back of his shoulder she nods her head, lips pressed together. ]

Okay. Let's drop it.
