Selina went straight to bed after you made it home. It was over; Carmine Falcone was dead. You'd be lucky if you still had your job after a week. Sitting on the kitchen counter, you idly listened to the tv news broadcasting the events that just unfolded in front of you. Batman had given Carmine to the police, and if you looked in the background, you would be able to see yourself on the screen.

Your apartment was quiet. It was a nice change of pace from the crazy that's been going on. One of the cats started fighting with another over a toy before running away—that made you laugh. Fishing out your phone, you checked your notifications–one new message from Bruce Wayne.

                                                                                                                                                                                     It's okay!

                                                                              Don't worry about it, I'm sure there's enough on your plate

Yeah, haha.

I was thinking maybe we could meet up sometime?

I really need a break, it would be nice to relax after everything that's happened.

Coffee, lunch, or dinner? Your pick.

...

Hello?

With everything going on, you didn't have time to reply! You typed on the keyboard.

                                                                                                                                    I'm sorry! Something came up...

                                                                                                                                                              Would dinner work?

A ball rolled across the floor and hit the counter that you were seated on. One of the cats looked up at you and stretched his paws in your direction. Leaning down, you gave him a pat before he took off with the toy ball. Your phone buzzed again.

Dinner sounds perfect. I'll let you know on the date soon.

Speaking of dates, am I finally going to learn the name of my mystery date?

                                                                                      Mmmm sorry,
I guess you'll have to find out at dinner ;)

Finally feeling like going to sleep yourself, you turned off your phone and went into your bedroom so that you could be done with this horrible day.

You would not be going to bed that night.

Your room was still trashed from when they took Annika, but Selina had made slight improvements from when she cleaned the broken furniture. Other than that, everything was in place...except for a red envelope that presented itself on your pillowcase. It was addressed to no one, but there was a small heart drawn onto the middle of the paper. Opening it revealed a cute card with a cartoon surgeon performing surgery. It read, 'What's yours but cannot be held?' Opening the card revealed the punchline, 'My heart!,' but there was extra writing inside. In sloppy handwriting was an address.
