Why This Must Be Read: I loved the character voice in this, the lyrical lines and the swift POV as Han tries everything in his power not to fall for Leia - and fails miserably.

You will meet a woman and you will hate her (and that is a mistake, because you should have tried being indifferent instead. It’s safer.)

She will try to involve you in her cause. She will appeal to your humanity (you don’t have any), and your pride (you’ve never needed any), and your dignity (you’ve never wanted any). She’ll eventually appeal to your greed (which works).

She won’t try to charm you into staying, probably because it never occurred to her that that sort of approach might work.

(It might’ve – you liked her eyes.)
