Anakin's desk was covered in electronics as he spun a tiny screwdriver between his fingers and consulted his schematics again.

It was easier to keep his mind off of unpleasant thoughts when his hands were busy.

The door was open.

[OOC: What Anakin and Molly talked about NFB, please.]

Anakin closed his eyes quickly to stop the sudden rush of tears.

No one had touched his face in decades.

He took a deep breath and composed himself, then opened his eyes again.

"Thank you," he said. "For both parts." He looked down at his hands. "I certainly hope I've learned something."

Molly narrowed her eyes and frowned a little. "None of this would have happened if you hadn't left here in the first place," she pointed out, teasing to try to lighten the mood.

Anakin gave her a small smile, grateful for the attempt.

"But then there wouldn't be Luke," he said.

"Hmm, true," Molly admitted. "Probably best not to think about it," she added with a shrug. "We're all here now and that is what is important."

She hugged him tight.

Anakin clung tightly. "I've missed you," he murmured.

"I missed you too," she said.

Anakin pulled back. "And I'm sorry for giving you detention," he said.

"Ha! Joke's on you," Molly said with a grin. "I had fun in detention both times you gave it to me."

Anakin smiled back. "All part of my plan, then," he decided.

"Liar," she said, still grinning.

"Maybe," Anakin admitted.
