Asami sat at her desk, as the moonlight shone through the window into her room, her hair let down and none of her usual make up adorning her face. A small lamp shone down on her hand as she scribbled on a sheet of paper.

"UGH. No, that's stupid!" she shouted, scrunching up the paper and throwing it across the room towards the bin in the corner, already overflowing onto the floor with crumpled up sheets. She slammed her elbows on the desk and rubbed her hands down her face exhaustedly, "Why is this so hard?"

She picked up another sheet of paper from the side of the desk and placed it down in front of her. She picked up her pen and tapped it on her chin, thinking of what to write, "Dear Korra" she said aloud as she wrote it neatly at the top of the paper. She looked down at the sheet and began scribbling down words, a determined look in her eyes and her tongue poking out of the side of her mouth ever so slightly. "I miss you, it's been just over a year since you left and I still wake up every morning hoping you've come home. I'm worried about you, I hope you're ok. I hope you've been getting my letters, you haven't written back so I don't know if they're even reaching you" she sighed, looking down at the paper, disheartened. " I went to Air Temple Island to see Tenzin and the kids a few days ago, you'd be so proud of them, they're still helping to teach the new airbenders and they did a great job taking all the classes while Tenzin went to see you. Even if Mako, Bolin and I had to watch the classes to make sure Meelo didn't make them jump off the tower again. Don't ask." Asami looked up, shaking her head and laughing slightly at the memory of the airbenders' faces as Meelo yelled "you maggots will do as I say! benders have no fear, now jump!"

"As soon as Tenzin got back from seeing you I rushed to him to see how you were. I was so glad to hear that you're doing well and that you're recovering, it was a huge relief. I just wish there was some way I could help." she looked at her hand questioningly, "does that sound ok?" she tapped the pen on the desk and rubbed her chin with her other hand "do I sound too... needy?" She shrugged and continued writing, "I just wish you were here." she wrote slowly, staring down at the words longingly as they formed. She exhaled slowly, closing her eyes and wiping her eyes with her finger and thumb. She continued staring at the sentence, "I wish you were here..." she swallowed a lump in her throat, "with me" she whispered, her breath shaking as she fought the urge to cry. She took a moment then wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and continued writing,

"Anyway, I just thought you might want to know that Future industries has officially started work on "Avatar Korra Park", I wanted it to be a surprise for when you came back but I just couldn't wait to tell you. I've been petitioning Raiko for months to get republic city park named after you. He finally agreed last week, "for outstanding contributions to the republic and the world". I designed it myself, I wanted it to be special for you so while we were remodelling the park I made sure the rivers in the park were in the shape of the southern water tribe symbol and there's this huge statue of you that I made in my workshop that's going to be right in the middle of the park" Asami looked out of her window to see the huge statue sitting in the garden of the mansion "now how am I going to get you there I wonder" she laughed, grinning as she put the pen back to the paper, "It's huge, and I did a great job at making it, if I do say so myself, it looks just like you. I put an inscription on the bottom of it that said "In honour of Avatar Korra: the saviour of the world, and her Team Avatar" then I inscribed our names on it: Bolin, Mako and I, I hope you don't mind, Bolin made me do it, but I think it was Varrick's idea really."

Asami let out a huge yawn and stretched her arms upwards looking over at the clock "2:37am". "It's getting late, I should really finish this and go to bed", Asami put the pen back to the paper and began writing yet again, "I don't really know what else I can say. I miss you so much Korra." Asami looked up, an anxious look spreading across her face "I can't put that, what if she thinks..." she quickly changed the point to a comma. "we all do. Please come home soon, I don't know how much longer I can go on without you." Asami took a deep breath in, trying to keep her composure. "You don't have to write back to me if you don't want to, I know it must be hard for you. I just want you to know I'm always here for you if you need anything at all." She continued writing, speaking the words aloud as she wrote them "I'll write to you again soon, I lo-" she stopped mid-sentence, staring down at the paper "I..I... I love you... Korra" she whimpered to herself as she dropped the pen onto the desk and buried her head in her hands. She started to cry.

Asami looked down at the half formed word as a tear trickled down her cheek to the point of her chin, dripping off onto the letter. She picked the pen back up and scribbled an ending to the sentence, "I lo- ok forward to hearing from you," The tears returned as she jerked up and down, unable to control her crying, "love, Asami" she said through her tears as she wrote it at the end of her letter.

She read over the letter, eventually folding it up and placing it in an envelope, writing Korra on the back of it. Asami stood up from her desk and walked over towards her bed, laying down and pulling the cover over her. She reached over to a small table by the side of her bed, grabbing the small framed photograph that stood on it. The picture showed her and Korra stood in front of the Zaofu domes, Asami smiling at the camera and holding up her two fingers playfully and Korra looking cutely at Asami, her trademark goofy grin on her face. Asami giggled slightly at the avatars expression, she closed her eyes pulling the photo into her chest, almost hugging it, "please come home soon Korra." She swallowed a lump in her throat, as her voice became higher, "please."
