You were gone in an instant and he never thought he would be so lost without you. Too bad the dead can never come back...

Another sleepless night. He tosses and turns, adjusting his pillow, but his mind won't shut down. He just can't sleep without you. The Joker looks at your side of the bed. You're not there...and you will never be again.

He sighs and takes a deep breath, hiding his face under the sheets, trying not to think of your smile. It's useless. He grunts and uncovers himself, his eyes resting on your favorite loveseat by the window.

He can almost see you there, in the pale morning light, polishing your handgun, wearing that cute lacy nightgown he liked so much. It was your favorite firearm; he gave it to you on your birthday, customized with your name and his, and plated it with gold over the shiny red background color.

"Baby doll, I regret given that to you. Stop messing with it. Come back to bed, I wanna sleep in."

"Why, can't you sleep if I'm not there?"

"You know I can't."

"Jeez, baby, what would you do if I'd die? You'd never sleep again?" you used to ask, teasing him.

"No, I would just get another girlfriend."

"What?!"

He remembers how you always frowned at his answer.

"I would come back and haunt you! NO GIRLFRIEND, do you hear me?"

"If you come back to haunt me, could you be naked please?"

"You want me to be naked?"

"Yes!" he would burst out laughing, his blue eyes glowing with content.

"OK, I'll come back naked then," you giggled, charging for the bed and landing on top of him with all your strength.

"Auch, Pumpkin, lose some weight."

"You're so mean J," you complained, playfully punching his cheek.

"I know I am," the Joker admitted, fully aware you put up with all his crap and you would fall asleep cuddling for a few more hours.

He gets up at the side of the bed, sniffling, then heads towards the bathroom, turns on the water and gets in the bathtub. He hopes it's going to comfort him a little bit.

"Taaaaa-daaaaaaa!" your cell phone in his face when he was so busy with the paperwork, planning future heists.

He already knew what it was: you took care of another person (or multiple ones) on his black list. But he still looked at the pictures.

"See Puddin? Killed them all for you."
