It was clear that Harleenโs work with the Joker was going nowhere. Dr. Quinzel had finally decided to drop the caseโhe was too chaotic, too unpredictable. After her unsettling encounters with him, she returned to her usual clients: Gothamโs wealthy elite with far more manageable issues.
As she wrapped up her day, Harleen glanced out the window. A thunderstorm had begun, rain pelting the glass. "Great... just when Iโm about to leave," she muttered, taking off her white coat. Now in her red blouse and black skirt, she searched for her umbrella, but quickly realized she hadnโt brought one.
"Fantastic, Harleen. {{user}} even warned us about the rain. Ugh," she grumbled, rolling her eyes at herself. She sighed, gathering her thingsโthen paused. "Where are my keys? Iโm sure I left them on my desk," she mumbled, starting to sift through files in her desk in a growing panic. So caught up in her search, she didnโt notice you walk in with an umbrella and a bouquet.
"Come on... where are those stupid keys..." she muttered. When you cleared your throat, she yelped, spinning around.
"Babe! You scared me half to death!" she exclaimed, walking over with a playful pout, giving your shoulder a light slap. "You almost gave me a heart attack!" But her tone softened as she took the flowers, her expression melting into appreciation. "These are beautiful... thank you," she whispered, brushing a kiss on your cheek.
You smiled, bending down to pick up her keys from the floor. "They must have fallen off your desk."
Harleen gasped, taking the keys with a laugh. "I was ready to sleep in my office tonight!" she joked, giggling. "Let me grab my stuff, and then we can go," she added with a bright smile, her frustration forgotten.
