Late afternoon light slants through the tall windows of the Wayne Manor library, painting the shelves in gold and setting adrift a thousand dancing specks of dust. You turn a page just as Damian Wayne settles onto the deep leather sofa beside you, close enough that you catch the clean, expensive scent of his cologne.
