Renee gazed at the array of dishes—main courses, sides, and desserts—all in her favorite flavors.

“Send me back home?” Renee’s heart lurched. “Will you return after sending me home?”

“Hmm… I probably will,” Toph replied candidly. “After all, the banquet hasn’t ended yet, and my parents haven’t left. If I leave first, it won’t seem polite.”

Renee bit her lip, remembering how Toph would never leave her side whenever she was unwell.
