Moving beside him again was a relief to her. It was as if her body had sighed happily, her posture softening slightly as he rested his head on hers. Selina closed her eyes for a second when she knew he couldn't see, her arms wrapped over his shoulders. She allowed her nose to rub against his neck, barely touching it. She inhaled, her breathing slow. Her skin prickled at his touch, the knot in her stomach tightening rapidly.
He'd thought about her, and she smiled. She wondered what he'd seen that could possibly remind him of her? Who he'd been with. What he'd done. She'd been lonely in Riyadh and for all she'd been with people every day, kept busy with the children and the agencies she had been trying to coordinate, she'd thought of him often. Thought of Gotham and her life there.
"I'm glad to be home." she replied staring back into his face, a flicker of a smile on her lips.
Her self restraint was testing her as her eyes flickered over his face, his lips. " - and I'm sorry for leaving like I did. I didn't intend for it all to happen so quickly..." Selina trailed off a little. She didn't know how explain to him why she'd done what she'd done, there were too many complications, too many things he didn't know and she hated that. She hated herself sometimes for being who she was. Things had never been simple when it came to Bruce and she wished they could be more than anything.
