   Summary

   Months into her new job at KTMJ, Edward finds himself increasingly drawn to his new overly-upbeat coworker. Their daily routine, filled with riddles and shared walks home through Gotham, steadily crumbles Edward's carefully constructed walls, much to his own confusion and the blatant annoyance of a persistent coworker.

   As their connection deepens, Edward's carefully planned routine is broken, making old mannerisms and memories he's tried hard to suppress come bubbling back to the surface after years of keeping it under control, all because of you.

   The problem is, when it comes to you, he doesn't seem to mind.
