❛ i carry your heart with me,
i am never without it.
here is the deepest secret nobody knows,
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life, which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide...

CHRISTMAS MORNING WAS UNEVENTFUL at Lennon's desolate New York apartment. She had a sloppily decorated two foot tall Christmas tree on her kitchen counter, and bags of unwrapped presents littered her loveseat. She didn't rush to her brother's townhouse, like they had insisted she should, but instead she remained in bed.
The streets of Manhattan had mushy snow from the storm the week prior flooding the sidewalks, and Lennon could faintly hear the patter of rain against her bedroom window. Knowing she would have to dress to walk in the rain and cold was an indefinite answer that she probably wouldn't be joining any family celebrations for the day.
She had only been back in the city for a day, the idea of having to interact with her family so soon made her wish she had remained in LA. Peter and Maggie knew she wouldn't be going to their home for Christmas dinner, but they still set up her spot at the table. It was sort of depressing to know that his sister was blatantly not going to celebrate with the family, but what was he gonna do? She was always keen on being alone ever since her thrust into the spotlight.
Lennon lay awake in her bed for hours, listening as the rain slowly turned into thunder and lightning. The only thing that was missing was the sound of a vinyl playing softly in the background to put her to sleep.
Unfortunately, her sleep like daze was interrupted by the annoying tone of her phone going off. Everyone was wishing her a Merry Christmas, even Christian who she remained close with throughout everything they had gone through.
Christian Happy Christmas, beautiful x
Batman Begins proved to be a box office success. Within a matter of weeks it had been screening, Chris Nolan excitedly called Lennon to inform her of her reprisal of Rachel Dawes. The second film would be called The Dark Knight, and they would begin filming in Chicago by April of next year. Chris confirmed that the majority of the cast would be returning, but that there would be several new faces. Particularly the main character of The Joker. Chris refused to reveal who would be playing the villain, though. She even tried asking Emma who it was, but the husband/wife duo remained tight lipped.
When Lennon finally rolled over to check the time on her bedside table, it was three in the afternoon. She left her room and decided to make her way to her usual spot on the couch, turning on the tv to see what the new gossip was on E! News.
"Jake Gyllenhaal was seen with Lennon Sarsgaard leaving the Chateau Marmont last weekend," Fucking Giuliana Ransic, this bitch never leaves me alone, Lennon thought.
She begrudgingly sat through the hosts play by play of paparazzi photos, wanting to know what else had been going on since she returned to the city.
"—in other news, Heath Ledger was seen leaving the house he shared with actress Michelle Williams a few days ago. The Aussie actor was carrying boxes, and according to an inside source, 'Michelle told him to get the hell out after she found drugs in their bathroom.' Yikes!"
