She sat there in shock for a moment. It felt like she had forgotten how to breathe. A part of her just wanted to say yes. Just hug him, kiss him, and forget everything they've been through together. She still loved Sokka, so much. Even now, it was difficult to be without him.

"Sokka..." She looked away, almost ashamed of herself. "I don't know. I love you, really, but... I don't know if I'm ready yet. I want to be with you. I'm just not sure I'm ready yet. Are you even ready to be with me, even though I don't think I'll ever remember this place?"

It hurt so much to say this to him. More than anything, she wanted to be with Sokka. She just wasn't sure if this was the right time or not.
