rekindlings
Flames burning again
Rekindlings are instances of reviving something that had faded or gone dormant.
The word usually applies to relationships or emotions: Their rekindlings never lasted more than a few months.
A rekindling of interest, passion, or conflict suggests flames that had died down being coaxed back to life.
