Renee looked at Toph and snorted. Of course, she knew exactly what she was saying.

After losing her mother, she did a lot of thinking. The more she thought, the more she realized how foolish she used to be. She had been so foolish, giving away things she could have easily held onto. She had been naive, letting others use her as a stepping stone without even realizing it.

If her mother hadn't insisted that she stop impersonating Pamela, how would the real Pamela have returned to the Thompsons? How could she ever have a chance to reconnect with Zuko?

Her mother had been incredibly kind to them, but they had shown no gratitude!

And then there was Melvin. Despite her strong dislike for him, on the day of his execution, she felt like her heart was burdened with a heavy stone.

"Toph, I know what I'm saying, and I know what I want." She gently held his hand. "I want to be with you. I want to have a home of our own!"

Toph frowned. "But I'm already working hard to give you a home, aren't I?"
