"You don't need me," she told him with laughter in her voice. She hesitated for a moment before cheekily adding, "You might want me, but you certainly don't need me. And even if you did, that wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen. People... need people, sometimes."
Rey had never needed anyone, but she'd be a liar if she claimed that the thought of one day finding her family or finding that missing part of herself hadn't been a major motivator for her throughout her life. So maybe she didn't need Luke specifically, but... if she let herself cross this bridge, she might just end up needing him the way she needed air. That was a scary thought.
And yet....
"You can tell me anything, Luke, or do anything," she assured him softly, lightly grasping their clasped hands with her free one. "Who would I tell? A porg? I think they have other things to concern themselves with."
