Summary
Katara knows three things as absolute truths: she tolerates working night shifts at the hospital, her brother Sokka will never stop interfering in her life, and the jasmine tea from the corner coffee shop is the only thing capable of making the world feel bearable after hours in the emergency room.
At least that was the case until the new barista showed up. Zuko is reserved, intense, and completely unsuited for customer service. Katara ought to find him irritating. Instead, every time his golden eyes meet hers, it leaves her with the unsettling impression that she has been missing him for far longer than they have known each other.
Meanwhile, the nightmares that have haunted her for years are becoming sharper, more real. And for the first time, she feels as though someone is trying to reach her within them.
(Or: Katara is forced to question the emptiness beneath her carefully constructed routine, and whether a stranger is disrupting her reality or trying to save her from it.)
