Summary
'Harley's still not sure what she's expecting when the chair takes a sharp right and she's wheeled into a small room, but it's certainly not shoulders hunched in on themselves and clad in a white t-shirt; it's not the slight of a vulnerably exposed neck, the soft-sharp jaw, the loosely done ponytail of the woman whose heart Harley had ripped from her chest days (weeks, months, a year, maybe?) ago.
Her eyes are dull and dead, and Harley wonders how much of the woman she'd been faced with before was actually part of the girl in front of her. It's the same face, the same features; but this girl is plain; no makeup, hardly even an expression behind thin-rimmed circular glasses. The only thing interesting about her is the silver in her ears; studs in her lobes and a bar up higher, in her cartilage, and that isn't even that interesting.
"I wanted to thank you," the girl starts, and her voice is a soft, quiet sort of thing, but it commands Harley's rapt attention nonetheless. It's dry and sweet, and kind of sexy, and Harley presses her tongue against the backs of her teeth, anticipating.'
