Beware the Ides of March
The sun has been up for some hours when Selina Kyle opens her eyes. Her dreams fade away from her as she does so. It was a strange dream with people not often thought of in it but she's not trying to hold on to it. Not today. Not when she is here with this man asleep next to her, his arm still partially around her waist.
I'm not doing badly for a woman of tw.. thi... my age. Still, another year passes and I can see where it has left marks on me. Things not quite what they used to be, even if the man asleep next to me would protest such a comment.
Then again, he wouldn't be who he is if he didn't. Coming to think of it that's a development I didn't see coming this time last year. Some part of me has stopped searching. I wasn't even aware it was searching and the rest of me is not at all sure what to think of it. I think, me being me, there will always be some part of me detached, on the prowl, ready to run. But .... we're both like that.
I've gotten a lot better at accepting things over the past year.
Some things, at least.
Selina stretches a little, yawning. For a few moments, she allows herself to sink back into the pillows and the comfort of the bed she's laying in... but no matter what day it is, there are things to do and people to see. Sliding out of bed, Selina heads to the bathroom, taking shower. When she comes out of it, Bruce is still sleeping like a rock, which causes her to smile a bit as she gets dressed.
Taking a moment after she's dressed, Selina smoothes Bruce's hair lightly away from his face and kisses his hair. He's likely still got a few hours of sleep left in him, or at least she can hope. She makes her way out of the door to breakfast and to her two lovely cats who also need breakfast.
