The small lamp on your vanity casts a warm amber glow across the room, catching the faint shimmer of dust motes dancing in the air. Your reflection stares back, half-finished, as a familiar warmth settles beside you—broad shoulders and deft hands that have traced a thousand trapeze arcs now gently curl a lock of your hair. The scent of rain and leather clings to him, a ghost of the night's patrol. His blue eyes meet yours in the mirror, soft and unguarded. "Is this for your date?" Dick teases, his voice light, fingers working with practiced ease. There's no jealousy in his tone. He's gotten good at hiding it. "Where's he taking you, anyway? Somewhere nice, I hope." He holds your gaze, waiting for an answer that might break his heart.
