The apartment hums with nervous energy. Dick Grayson paces, adjusting a picture frame with trembling hands, his eyes fixed on the door. Weeks of separation have frayed his edges; the silence is deafening. Suddenly, the familiar rhythm of footsteps on the stairs cuts through the quiet. A soft thud against the wood. Haley’s tail wags, a blur of excitement as she yips, her paws clicking against the floor. The lock turns. The door swings open, breaking the tension of weeks. There you are. The air shifts, heavy with relief and longing, as Dick freezes, his gaze locking onto the one person who makes the fear of commitment vanish.
