[...] Tears forming in her eyes, Rey placed her other hand on his cheek, expecting Ben to be as cold as ice. But instead she found his muscles moving. She couldn’t explain what was happening.

“She’s gone…” Ben finally said, his breaking voice trailing off. Rey’s hand left his and Ben watched it as she placed her hand on his heart.
“She’s right here.” Her voice was warm. “She’ll always be.” Rey nodded to confirm her words. She was right, Ben thought. He could feel his mother everywhere. [...]
