Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin had dreamed about Padmé again last night, feeling an almost irresistible draw back to the island (which he had damn well resisted, thank you very much. He was here because he had a job, not because the island wanted him), and was feeling guilty and cranky Anakin wasn't one to trust feelings of calm, warmth, and love. He wasn't really used to feeling them.

And the feel of waiting that the island seemed to be exuding had set the skin on the back of his neck crawling. His hand kept twitching toward the lightsaber he wasn't wearing on campus.

The door was open, but be wary of the twitchy Jedi.

Anakin winced. "There is no way to apologize for that, is there?"

He sounded resigned more than anything. Of all of the terrible things he'd done, Mustafar still gave him nightmares that he woke screaming from.

"No," she said, looking straight into his eyes. "I loved you. I believed in you. And you betrayed everything we both dedicated our lives to. I'm not here to give you absolution, Anakin."

She reached up to touch his cheek. "But then, you don't really expect forgiveness."

With that, she turned on her heel and left the office.

Anakin waited until her presence faded from the hallway before collapsing into his chair with his head between his hands.

This was going to be bad.
