Summary
“I can’t stand you,” Zuko says with earnest annoyance.
“I can’t stand you either,” Sokka says. It sounds a whole lot like I love you. “Come on, you poor, sad baby, let’s go to bed.”
Or: Sokka has been running from his broken heart for years, but when his father calls and tells him to come home, he packs his car and starts the long drive across the country to the mess of a life he left behind. The last thing he expects is to break down a day into his impulsive road trip—or for his unexpected savior to be the boy he broke up with in his final year of college.
Zuko is different than Sokka remembers. Quiet and angry and filled with a grief he refuses to talk about. As the two travel back to the place where their story first started, they begin unpacking the wounds they left on each other when they were young. But as their feelings rekindle, they’ll both have to confront the reality of what it means to try again, and whether they’re brave enough to trust each other twice.
