Re: quicklog: selina/steph -- marvel penthouse.
[Stephanie rubbed her hands over her jeans, like she was still searching for something to do with them. Fingers tingling and cheeks going pink with warmth. She had parred down her drinking over the years somewhat, but there was always the occasion for a stiff drink. Like this. She worried her bottom lip as Selina spoke, and she bite back another apology. Steph knew all about losing close ones to this goddamn hotel. There was a back catalogue of people she had lost over the years. It was getting disgustingly long at this point.
Sighing again, she chewed on her bottom lip and pushed her glass away from her reach for a moment. She knew she could drown herself in the numbness if she let herself.] I just want to be able to be what everyone wants me to be. I don't want to lose him because I had to shut myself down from my feelings for him for years and years. I can't lose him again. [She pressed her fingertips into her eyes.] Things were going so well for a while. He was staying at the Manor, and it was...it was fucking blissful honestly. But he asked me to come home with him after I sent him back to Gotham and I fucking balked. [With a huff, she leaned back on the couch.] If I could take it back, I would. I'd go with him. I fucking would. I don't know why I said no. Being with him is as easy as breathing when it's good. Like one plus one equals two.
