Skywalker here. Leave a message, and I'll get back to you.

voice.

[faithfulson]

No, of course not.

[ Luke let out a sigh. ]

I just don't want to lose this.

voice.

[functusofficio]

I know. And I understand it.

But regardless of how it happens and how things go wrong, I am still so happy to have had the chance to know you at all. To have seen your kindness and your happiness.

I would not give that up for anything.

[faithfulson]

[ ...sorry, he needs a moment. Because what kid that never got to know his parents doesn't want to hear that? ]

...thank you, mother. That means a lot to me.

voice.

[functusofficio]

This time has meant a great deal to me as well. I'm so proud of you and your sister, Luke. Even back home, I hope someday you will be able to know just how much.

[ She clears her throat a little, tries to keep it clear. ]

Perhaps we could get lunch together sometime this week? Or do something along those lines.

voice.

[faithfulson]

I'd like that.

[ A pause. ]

Can we also get together to do some cooking again? And invite Josh?

voice.

[functusofficio]

Oh, that's a lovely idea. I'd be happy to spend time with both of you, and I'm sure Josh could teach both of us a thing or two.

I can be free most evenings, so if the two of you are able to find a time that works for you both you have simply to let me know.
