That night, a storm had come hard and fast, interrupting Toph's sleep. She had thrown her blankets off at the first boom and was already pulling open her parents' thick bedroom door at the second. Half-awake, they had moved over so that their daughter could slide in between them. She lay nestled in the warm blankets, her mother and father on either side of her, safe from the furious thunder. Come morning, the storm would have retreated back to wherever it came from and Toph would continue in her fight for independence. But for now, she was content being their little girl again.
