More meme responses to come!
The question couldn't have come at a more inappropriate time, and perhaps that's why she found herself providing a most inappropriate answer.
"Yes."
"Yes?"
"Why do you look so surprised?"
"Why do you?"
In a hurried motion Betty reached over to immediately shut off the small recording device sitting on the table between her and her former boss, Bruce Wayne. "I think I have every right to look surprised," she said. "But you asked the question, so you shouldn't look surprised when I give you what most men would consider the 'right' answer."
"I didn't think you'd say yes," Bruce admitted.
"Wait, you did something without knowing the odds of the outcome? Who are you and what did you do with my Bruce?"
He leaned back in his chair. "It was fifty-fifty. You could either say yes or no."
"Or 'maybe'," Betty pointed out. She reached up, trying to discretely scratch her neck where she swore she was breaking out in hives. She always did when she was nervous, though one would think in her fourth year as a fulltime reporter for the Gotham Gazette, she'd have gotten over it. She had, for the most part, but things were always topsy-turvy around Bruce. "Why would you… why did you ask me?"
"Why did you say yes?" he countered.
"Because you asked me!" And really, what else was she expected to say? She hadn't really thought about it before blurting out the answer, and could she take it back now? Any other female her age would consider her absolutely crazy for even considering changing her mind. "I was supposed to say no? I didn't even know that you… when did you decide you wanted to marry me?"
Bruce was silent for a moment before answering. "The night you didn't run screaming from the manor after I showed you the Cave.
"Oh right. Seven years ago." There went those hives again.
