Poe was speechless and Rey was trying to figure out what to do. She wanted to fix things, make it so Finn and Poe had a happily ever after, or whatever it is they told in stories and holonovels. She wanted them to be happy, even if it meant she wasn't in the picture.

But, Finn wasn't having it. He took each of them by the hand. Without thinking, she laced her fingers with his, squeezing his hand whenever she felt stressed or needed silent reassurance from her best friend.

"No...don't apologize. That's how you feel, and I'm..." Trying to process things. Trying not to get her hopes up, trying so hard to not pull back and say they shouldn't be close to her because the people she cares about end up dying. She sucked in a deep breath, and reached for Poe's hand.

The three of them connected, as it had been before, when they were fighting to stay alive.

"I've had the same feelings, but I thought it would be best if I didn't act on them."

Once she told them the truth....they would have each other, and that would...that would be okay.
