It seemed like Barbara was doing this on purpose. Somehow, she knew you wanted her attention and was doing everything in her power to avoid giving it to you. Last night, she went to bed at an unreasonable hour and woke up before you, resulting in no cuddles whatsoever.

Then, when you did wake up, she was already taking a shower, and by the time she finished, you were already on your way out the door. During work, you were too busy to text her, but she was on your mind the while time, making it impossible for you to focus.

And now, as both of you finally find yourselves in the Clocktower, there sits Barbara, blissfully unaware of your overwhelming need for affection. She is busy updating her tech, humming a tune under her breath.

Part of you wants to distract her from her work, but you know her answer would simply be 'no'—it's impossible to divert her attention while she's focused. So, you need to get creative to get her attention.
