At that last sentence, Kylo's eyes threaten to tear up yet again at the thought of just how different his life might have been had his grandfather been a part of it. Growing up, his family hadn't even told him the truth of who his grandfather had been. Probably for fear that he would end up like him--the irony.

He takes a deep breath, and lets it out with a shaky sigh. "I haven't told her yet." There hadn't been a time for it, since he'd learned. She hadn't been willing to listen--and in the moments she might have, he hadn't wanted to mess it up by delivering that news. "I wasn't sure she would even believe me."

After their conversation just now, he's far more inclined to believe that she would. But that doesn't make the task of figuring out how to tell her any easier.
