Ask The Question

discowing:

Commissioner Gordon’s daughter used to pop by once in a while to pick up her dad for lunch, and—it could just have been Renee’s imagination, but she’s willing to bet it wasn’t—she’d always glance at Renee for just a second too long while waiting for him. A sassy redhead with sharp eyes and a mouth that you’re somehow always expecting to curl into a smirk, and Renee kinda used to have a little crush. But it would have been awkward to do anything, so nothing ever happened. Even so, Renee sometimes wondered what could have been. Maybe the boss would have been called out minutes before she’d arrive to pick him up, and Renee would stroll over and say something like, Stood you out?, and she’d finally give her that smirk and say, You hungry?, so they’d go to that place with the spicy chicken salad and arrange the second date sometime between the third refill of their drinks and the check arriving. She’s not Renee’s boss’ daughter anymore, but… bygones are bygones, and Renee isn’t who she used to be.

Suddenly fanfic, whoops.
