She buried her heart years ago... but what if the love she thought she left behind was just waiting for the right time? In a world of stages, flashing lights, and endless rehearsals, she finds herself caught between duty and desire. She's always been the steady hand, the one who makes sure everything runs perfectly from behind the scenes. But when familiarity collides with old feelings she thought she had buried, the line between professionalism and something more begins to blur. He was never supposed to be the distraction. Not when the stakes were this high. Not when she worked so hard to convince herself that what she once felt was just a passing memory. But he's relentless in his quiet ways-slipping into her moments, breaking down her walls, reminding her of everything she tried to forget. And the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to deny that some feelings never really fade. Because sometimes... the heart remembers what the mind tries so hard to let go.

He spat, his body shaking with uncontrollable rage. I felt my windpipes being crushed, tears welded in my eyes as I choked. I gasped for air, "well...someone d-didn't eat breakfast this morning. You're just Cuckoo for Coco P-Puffs."

Black spots darted in my vision, consuming my sight as they grew. My head started to feel light and airy as I began choking to death. His voice shook with rage, "What. Are. You." He seethed. His red eyes wide with fury. "I'm Batman." I choked, as I blacked out. *** 18 years ago, a baby girl was born, but she was born frail and weak.
