"Yeah," Jyn breathed, looking up at him with wide, apologetic eyes. Pleading, really, although she didn't know for what. Maybe just for him not to hate her. It wasn't as if she'd had any more control over this than he did — he would never have been gone, otherwise — or as if there had been a good way for her to tell him sooner, but still, she couldn't have blamed him if this was too much, too awkward, if he never wanted to look at her again. That he was still holding her hands was a small reassurance, albeit one that could have simply been the result of shock. He wasn't otherwise moving, after all.
She didn't know what she wanted. That had been a constant of the last few hours. What she did know was that having been so long without him, she didn't want to lose him again, no matter what that entailed, no matter what a bad idea that was. Again, it had been a day for those.
"When I said the first thing I did when I got here was look for you..." Her vision had gone blurry, and when she blinked, hot tears rolled down her cheeks, a slight tremble in her jaw conveying just how hard this was. "I found you. We'd shown up at the same time. A couple years later, you were gone."
