Three conversations on Air Temple Island, fifteen years after Lin and Tenzin didn't have a baby.   It wasn’t as though she hadn’t remembered in previous years—she always remembered—but there was something sharper about it now that Tenzin was back in her life. It was only once she felt that familiar grief tug at her gut, that Lin realized a small part of her had been hoping that the healing of her friendship with Tenzin might have healed other wounds along with it. Instead, the stitching holding them together seemed to snap, string by string, with every tentative smile and invitation to dinner.
