Anakin was staring intently into space, lost in the memories of the weekend.

Not that he'd tell you that.

Nope.

The door was cracked open.

Anakin nodded. "It's best not to screw up the time line," he agreed. "I know things about Luke's future that he doesn't."

"Yeah, I don't want to be the one to make the world implode," Isabel agreed. "Although I wonder. I mean, just by him being here, things are different. But for the sake not tying my brain in knots, I'm just going with trying not to say too much."

"And I don't want to be the one to tell him that there's no happy homecoming."

"Definitely not," Anakin said, shaking his head. "His future could still be different from yours. When Qui-Gon was here, he learned things that could change his version of me and my life." He shrugged. "No future is written in stone."

"Exactly. I just hope his is a good one. He's had some bad breaks so far. I think being here will be good for him."

"Anyway, I'll get out of your hair, but before that? I heard something about an engagement? Congratulations," Isabel said with a warm smile.

Anakin smiled back, blushing. "The big event's not for years yet."

"So? It's just more time to look forward to the big event. And for Rory to plan it." Isabel admired her organizational skills. "I assume she's already started?"

Anakin chuckled. "There was barely room for me on the sofa."

"That's...not surprising at all," she laughed. "Well give her my best."

"It was nice talking with you and again, sorry about the crazy."

"Crazy happens," Anakin said, shooing her towards the door with a smile. "If you actually get pregnant, that's a whole different thing."

"Oh hell no. Anakin, I promise you, this weekend was the biggest PSA for birth control ever," she said with a shudder. "I'm not ready for Miss Victoria or any other potential kidlet to make an appearance for a long, long time."
