Instead of getting ready for the night they had planned Jerome stayed in his office by himself.

This whole time Josette never stepped foot outside which really bummed her out. The whole city would freak out. She did die after all.

They picked the perfect place for the night. Bruce Wayne's charity ball. Well it wasn't exactly his since he was only 15, but it was under his name.

It was masked themed, plus it was for charity.

Jerome's feet rested on top of his desk as he leaned back in his chair.

The ginger had seemed to be lost in thought, well he was until he heard his office door open.

He closed his eyes shutting them tight. "please be Josette, please be Josette." the man repeated crossing his fingers.

"Not Jo." The voice spoke.

Jerome opened his eyes and sat normally. "Cordelia Bennet. What do you want?" He asked as he poured himself a glass of bourbon.

"Are you going to the party?" She asked awkwardly. "What's the point if Jo isn't my date. Did you really just come up here to ask me about a stupid party?"

"Just wanted to check up on you." She said approaching him.

Even though Jerome was full of sassiness and flirty remarks towards Josette she knew it was just a coverup of how he truly felt. He had to put on a smile even though this was very painful for him.

"So how are you?" Cordelia asked as she sat down.

Jerome rested his hand in his chin "Well let's see Cordelia. Josette clawed her way out of literal hell, great news by the way. But then I find out that some asshole decided that while she was still dead it was the best use of his time to brain wash my beautiful, sexy and lovely girlfriend to forget that she ever loved me." A chuckle was let out after his little rant.

Before taking a sip of his drink he spoke. "I'm great Cordelia thanks for asking."

"Look Jerome-"

The ginger cut her off "I know she was a train wreck without me, okay? But a full mind erase? Seriously?"

"She loved you too much, and it was killing her" Cordelia explained.

"Well I'm flattered. But she's back." He said with a smile and leaned over the desk. "So let's get this un-compulsion on the books huh?" He knew Cordelia could do something about it, she was a witch for crying out loud.

"Fine, as soon as Josette tells me that's what she wants."

Jerome rolled his eyes "Right." He said snapping his fingers. "Here's the thing...she's not gonna wanna be un-compelled if she can't remember why she would want to be un-compelled in the first place. It's that's simple blondie."
