#she thinks that if art does get exicted about tennis again maybe he'll push retirement and she can hang onto it just a little bit longer

ive seen sooo many people say that the expression on tashi's face in the wake of the retirement conversation when art is lying in her lap and asks her to hold him is disgust, but like. it's not. i don't think it's disgust at all.

it's grief.

it's tashi getting the news that her tennis career is finished all over again. it's tashi realizing that this is it; that art is tired and he is giving up and she is going to lose it all for the second time. it is tashi letting it sink in that she is going to have to come to terms with this, again.
