Leia Never Sleeps
Leia couldn’t have her best pilot just waiting.
She finds him sitting next to the bed of the ex-stormtrooper, Finn, daily and often more than once. Some days it’s early in the morning, before the base is even nearing the end of its night cycle, or late at night. She knows he’s not sleeping. He nevers says it, never mentions a why.
