Usually Narook's Noodles is the most delicious food in the world for me. But not today.
Word has gone around town that Iroh has some important news for me, and they haven't been really specific about it, whatever he has to tell me. But all I know, is that it can't be good. I never find out bad news from him firstly. Someone else always ends up telling me first. Then I go confront him, and we cry together, and then we cuddle, and then we go to bed. And they all lived happily ever after.
But, judging by how many people I've heard about it from, including my own brother, that this won't be the case tonight when I get home and ask him about it. And that's what worries me. This hasn't happened before. I don't know how I'm going to handle it.
I slam my spoon down back in my bowl of soup and stand up and wipe any possible dust or crumbs off of my clothes. I leave my money on the table and leave, without finishing.
I hear the restaurant go silent as they watch me leave, without finishing. It's something they never ever see. They've all seen me here at least 3 times. So it was really shocking, to look at my empty table and find a full bowl of soup just sitting there, and to know that I was eating it before. They know something really must be wrong with me.
And apparently, there is. I don't even know what. But I'm going to find out. Tonight. As soon as Iroh gets home from the power plant, he's going to tell me everything. If he chooses to be stubborn, I have my ways.
I climb in my satomobile- Iroh bought it for me after Asami Sato taught me to drive. How sweet of him.- and close the door behind me. I don't bother assembling into a seat-belt. We don't live that far from Narook's Noodles, much to my advantage.
It doesn't take me long to get home, so I park in our garage. After turning off the car, I step out, and open the key to the house and walk inside, locking it behind me.
I take a whiff of the kitchen and know he isn't home. Usually he has something cooked for me; whether it be a traditional, Fire Nation feast or a small town, Earth Kingdom ritual, he'd make it for me. But since he isn't here yet, I decided to wait, upstairs and in our room on the bed. And so I go up the marble staircase of our mansion- He's really rich, being a prince and all. Only another reason to want him as much as I do.-, and trudge down the hall to our room, tiredly. I don't want to put up with anything tonight but him. I'm too tired as it is. What time is it, anyway?
I take a look at our clock. It reads "22:08."
I approximated it would be around 22:00, and I was right. Well, how about that?
I lie down on the bed, exhausted. Today's been a hard day for me. I find out my fiancé has some bad news for me the hard way, and I can't even finish my soup from Narook's I'm so upset about it.
He had better get home soon before I...
Before I..
Before I go to sleep.
