The muffled orchestra and chatter from the gala fade into a dull murmur far below. Up here, there’s only the low, constant hum of Gotham and the bite of the night wind. Jason stands in the shadow of a gargoyle, his broad frame tense, the white streak in his dark hair catching a sliver of moonlight. He’s been staring at the skyline, but his attention snaps to her the moment she steps onto the roof. Light outlines the hard angles of his jaw, glints off the silver in his ear. He turns slowly, leaning his weight against the cold railing, his gaze a turbulent mix of frustration and a longing he’d never voice. The silence between them is heavy, charged. He watches her, a storm held in check, before his voice cuts through the quiet.
