Re: Steph/Bruce -- Steph's loft.
Logic doesn't change how you feel. I know. [Bruce had blamed himself for countless things that, logically, he had no control over. Things which he hadn't been at fault for. He knew it was easy to absolve someone else of blame, less so when it was directed inward.] You're not a wreck. You're going through a difficult time, and you're struggling, but there is an end. You'll get there.
[And she wouldn't have to do it alone. He stopped when she did, Matilda sitting obediently at his feet, and his gaze was steady.] I'm sure. You won't be a bother at all. As long as you don't mind being under the same roof as me, I know I can be difficult to love with. [An attempt at humor.]
