Toph paused, then he smiled, ruffling Renee’s hair affectionately.

“I really want to marry you soon, too,” he said gently. “But… Aunt Kaitlyn just passed, so it might not be appropriate for us to have the wedding now.”

“Toph, do you also believe in these things?”

“I’m not superstitious,” Toph explained seriously. “It’s just human nature. To hold a wedding immediately after a funeral, the outsiders might think—”

“Do you care a lot about what others think?”

Toph furrowed his brow, at a loss for words. He felt that Renee was somewhat different.

No, it was not just today. Since Kaitlyn’s death, it was as if all of Renee’s happiness had been taken away along with her mother. She became sensitive and suspicious and rarely smiled or spoke. Her once introverted personality had become even more gloomy and melancholic.
