What's it like to have a younger night-owl boyfriend who's smart as a whip, scheming as they come, and knows exactly when to act cute?
Answer: You spoil him. What else can you do?
So Detective Sigrid Odinson of the Gotham City Police Department could only sigh, flip the heart-shaped fried egg in the pan, then turn to face her sweet-looking young boyfriend, grinning innocently from behind the dining table.
Her boyfriend was sharp as a tack and had powerful connections. When he tilted his head and looked at her with that well-behaved expression, even Detective Odinson, who could wrestle criminals without batting an eye, could only turn away, unable to resist.
"Aren't you going to work, Tim?"
"It's not time yet, Brenda."
"By the time it is, the food will be cold, Timothy."
"If you're going to put it that way, then you must already be getting an earful from Commissioner Gordon for being late."
Tsk. Maybe they should just break up.
He saw the flames about to fall into the abyss.
Burning without hesitation, they raced toward an ending swallowed by darkness.
"She was a foolish woman, like Kuafu chasing the sun."
And yet I wanted to know everything about her.
So he reached out, ignoring the pain of his skin burning, and cupped that dying flame.
Then he held its warmth close to his heart.
