Excited to no longer just be squealing over this story with @pocketsofdaisy and finally share it! This was such a fun project to work on and I tried and learned a bunch of new visuals that I'm also excited to share here.

Happy to have you along for the ride 🛵🥰

—And the inevitable end of their dream with it.

#mydaywRen #mymanip #reyloart #bensolo #rey Image
67/ She doesn’t want to leave. Even though she knows she hast to.

But for 20 more minutes, it’s just them. No obligations.

Just this.

#mydaywRen ImageImage
68/ Every touch of her lips is a spark of life. A ray of sunshine. A reminder that her brilliance is unmatched—

—and Ben can’t help but think how lucky he is to be allowed to bask in it for just this one day.

#mydaywRen ImageImageImage
