   Summary

   Logically, Tim Drake knows that the worst place to go when dealing with the effects of cuddle pollen is an empty apartment. But he's not exactly thinking logically and the hole in his heart is burning more than usual. He just wants to pretend for a moment that you're still there.

   And if a ghost wants to cradle him softly and reassure him that it's okay then he'll accept being insane for one night.

   And perhaps even the next morning.
