Things Not Meant To Be

Lemon tree, very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon

Is impossible to eat.

His Adam's apple moved jerkily as he swallowed. He reached out –

"Jet. Please don't."

- his hand dropped to his side.

"It's Aang, isn't it?"

Silence.

"Or Zuko? Much as I hate that firebender-"

Silence. More of it.

"Sorry it's that way," and he turned away, heart cold.
