Re: Barbara & Miriam
For Miriam, she'd spend time apart from Matthew, especially after Bertrand's death, so it didn't feel so unusual. More like one of them went on a business trip while the other remained home.
"It's gorgeous," Miriam said, brightly. She loved Oxford a lot. Gotham. Batman? "The place with Batman?" Miriam only tangentially knew about comics from overhearing students.
"Oh I agree, especially since he doesn't sound like someone I'd usually date."
Miriam understood all about secrets and wouldn't press the issue at all.
