Darcy was a little nervous but a little excited too. She didn't want to pressure Bruce in to anything but she didn't know how long this was going to last and didn't want to completely disconnect either. Plus, she really wanted to get off and her hand just wasn't cutting it anymore. Not to mention she was at least a little bit curious too.
She spent the last hour or so before he came home from work getting things settled. She'd dropped Jacob off at the mansion, then shaved as smooth as she could manage, took a shower and layered on some of the moisturizer she usually used. It probably wouldn't be exactly the same but at least she'd smell a little bit like herself and maybe her skin would feel a little bit softer. She still wasn't quite used to shaving her face and managed to nick her chin, but by the time she'd finished in the bathroom it had stopped bleeding at least.
She did her best to dress well but not too formally, working with the few things they'd gotten for her. She ended up in a collared shirt with a few buttons undone and some nice fitting jeans, one of Bruce's own ties tucked in a pocket waiting for him.
By the time it was close to when he'd be getting home she was as ready as she figured she would be and had sat herself down on their couch, flipping mindlessly through the evening tv, waiting and trying not to let her nerves get the best of her.
