Harvey Dent stood in front of a crowd of officers, journalists, and general onlookers. He was radiant. His hands gripped the podium, his eyes shined. Every word resonated confidence.

“The night is darkest just before the dawn. I promise you-- the dawn is coming.”

The key turned in the lock and the door opened. A second later, Harvey came in. His suit was a bit wrinkled and he held a briefcase in one hand. In the other hand, he held a paper bag full of food - Italian, judging by the smell. There was a jaunt in his step and for a moment, if you could ignore the scars, he seemed just like his old self, both in movement and countenance.

Nadine heard the door and braced herself. A long day was about to get longer, she was sure of it. She turned and stopped.

For a moment, she wondered if she was still dreaming. He seemed... so much like himself. So much like the District Attorney that, well... That had died almost a month ago as far as Nadine was concerned.

"Evening," she said quietly. She almost hated to say anything, afraid it would bring him out of the mood he was in.

"I brought dinner," Harvey said, stepping into the living room. He set the paper bag on the coffee table, then sat down near her on the couch, setting the briefcase down as he did so.

"It smells great," Nadine replied, chuckling a little. She seemed a bit hesitant, only because she was still trying to decide what to make of this. Her smile was certainly genuine.
