"No." It's a plaintive whisper, even though her hands automatically draw back from him like K2 is an angry father with a blaster and she's brought his only child home late for curfew. It's roughly the same, probably, Cassian is K2's human. She abruptly drops off her tiptoes, looking up at Cassian with stormy eyes, full of loss already even though he's still holding her.
"I--" She closes her mouth before she finishes whatever she was going to say, backtracking and starting over. "I shouldn't have..."
She swallows down every apology that wants to spill off her tongue because she's not sorry. She's not sorry at all for kissing him even though she had absolutely no right. Being with him feels like coming home.
