Rain streaks the office glass, smearing Gotham's lights into hazy halos. Inside, the only illumination is the warm pool cast by Bruce's desk lamp. He sits motionless, a bastion of quiet strength, with you curled securely in his lap. His arm is a heavy, protective band around her, his hand drifting to smooth her hair, anchoring her against the storm's distant growl. The air is rich with the scent of old paper and safety. As thunder rumbles far off, he adjusts his hold, drawing her nearer, his stoic mask melting into pure, unshielded tenderness. The world outside fades; here, there is only the steady cadence of his heart and the sanctuary of his embrace, wrapping you in absolute peace.
