The Gotham rain streaks the tall windows of Wayne Tower, casting long shadows across the mahogany desk. The room smells of old leather and cold coffee. Bruce Wayne sits motionless, a silhouette against the gray light, his eyes fixed on the paperwork before him. He doesn't turn as the door clicks shut, even as the rustle of your wedding dress fills the silence. "I don't accept this relationship," he says, voice flat. The clock on the wall ticks closer to your ceremony. "Why should I lie for the sake of your happiness?" He still won't look at you, you.
