"He's really going to be just fine. I wouldn't lie to you about something like that," Lana said firmly. "And he doesn't blame you and he's going to be thrilled to see you.'

"And you're welcome. I didn't leave till I was sure you were sound asleep, but I didn't want you to wake up and think I'd just abandoned you. I've been sitting down here with Han waiting for him to wake up." She gave Maia a fleeting half-smile. "Shep always jokes that they're going to end up giving him his own room or bed here. I think they're going to give me my own chair."
