[He gave her his word that he would never make the same mistakes everyone else knew him for. He's stumbled badly along the way, but for the past few months, he's truly done what he could think of to make sure he kept that promise.
The only real issue is how difficult it is, having none of the respect and trust he's used to. Anakin is a man that thrives on the attention of others, even if that's something that everyone has tried to train out of him. Her words keep him on the right path; he's too afraid to lose her to deviate.]

[He lifts his head, running his free hand over her cheek again.]
I don't want it to be us against everyone else again. I don't want you to miss your chance with Leia because of me.
[He looks away from her face as he says this, because while it's true and he means it with all his heart, he still wants that chance for himself. His jealousy of her opportunity is pathetic, and he knows it.]
