[ he yelps, dropping his pen as he's forcibly pulled from his train of thought. He'd gotten into his work, hunkered down with a thoroughly chewed #2 pencil and a stack of yellow legal pads. Bruce is always working on something, but today he has more of a problem than usual. It's big, it's fruity, and apparently it's eating people. This is problematic, to say the least.

This is why he'd forgotten about dinner with Betty---or that it's Christmas Eve at all. Fumbling to push his glasses up, he cracks an expression of contrition. ]

Be---? Oh. Oh. Oh, Betty, I'm so sorry.

[She rolls her eyes at him, unbuttoning her coat and tossing it over a free chair, straightening out her very cute and very expensive dress with a snort.]

God if you can forget it's fucking Christmas, Bruce, I won't get my hopes up on my birthday.

[She sighs and drops onto a stool next to him, crossing her legs daintily, hands on her knees. She relaxes a little, seeming to brush off her irritation with a resigned sort of expression.]

What's outranking me this year? The rampaging fruitcakes or something else?

[ he scrubs his fingers through his hair; it's unwashed, sticking up at weird angles. It'd be bedhead, but he hasn't slept. Not for a while. Guilt rushes up the back of his throat, sour and sick. He's disappointed Betty---again. He's surprised that she came to see him at all; she used to just send him a very curt email listing his crimes against her in numerical order.

But she's here, in a---a very short little dress. It hits just above mid-thigh, barely a dress, really. Bruce swallows dryly ]

The fruitcake is my fault.

Not ALL your fault. Let Jan work on it for a while and take a break before your brain explodes.

[She strode over and tussled his hair a little, sighing in irritation]

I had a present for you to open you know.
