"I see you're sticking to a particular color scheme," Rey says as he exits his bedroom, looking up from her phone to smirk at him. Truth is, he looks good in black and to Rey in particular, the dark clothing still looks kind of exotic. It was nearly unheard of to see someone on Jakku dressed in all black, not with the heat and the searing sun.
"I can do that." Her smile turns into a slow grin, because she likes knowing that she has something that she can teach him. The idea of racing is even more appealing, because while she certainly doesn't miss being at odds with him, sometimes she does miss going up against him, and the fire he burns beneath her. "I'll teach you how to drive, and then beat you in a race."
She smirks at him and then returns her gaze to her phone, letting her expression go more serious as she reads and bites her thumbnail. She pauses on a certain passage, eyes widening as she jumps to her feet.
"Morning after pills can be used after sex to stop a pregnancy before it starts," she reads, looking up at Ben with open relief before crinkling her nose in amusement. "Well, that's clever, isn't it? So we just need to go get one of these pills, and then decide what to do going forward."
A instinctual stab of insecurity rises up from somewhere inside of her, but she easily pushes it away once she remembers how Ben had looked at her. How he felt. Her issues with abandonment won't just go away overnight, but she's very certain that they're on the same page here. "I assume you want to keep doing-- that. With me."
