riddleman | yet you cannot live without me

You feel intensely over him and you are not over that. I am not jealous or judging, just pointing it out. Forgive me.

That's an amateur move, but sure.

I'll work out an algorithm, if you insist. But if I have to work so hard, you have to top tonight.

He hurt me. A lot. I thought he was going to be something ... special. I never wanted to date him. I never wanted to date anyone besides you.

I can do that very happily.

Can I play with my toys too? I want to make the most of you.

Honestly, I had front-row seats for his dating and he's really not very good at it. You ducked a bullet.

Of course you can, just don't give me a chance to change my mind.

I really valued our friendship, I hoped he was going to be someone I could finally trust. I was very wrong.

I won't. Don't worry, I really won't.

If it makes you feel any better, he is really, really boring. I had to sit through dinner with him and he contributed nothing to the conversation. I have no idea why anyone likes him.

Now you already have my attention.

Because he's a good person, because he believes in people, in me, he trusted me. He wanted me. Our partnership was beautiful while it lasted.

It's all going to be a surprise but you're in for a hell of a night.

No. He used you, Oswald. I'd say he's still using you. I'm sorry to break it to you. But I want you and I trust you.

Yippee.

No, he may have hurt me and betrayed me when I needed him the most but he has come through for me many times. He respects me. He's just ... Jim. Nothing is ever simple.

I know you do. I love you for it. I love you most of all.

When has he come for you when it wasn't also for his own benefit?

I'm yours. <3

He was worried about me once. In a manner of speaking. He came to me then.

Do tell.

Well, not exactly came but he was concerned. When Galavan set me up and killed my mother, he made the GCPD make me a target and Jim believed that I was being blackmailed. He believed I was innocent and asked Butch about me.

Of course then he stopped me from getting my revenge and got me sent to Arkham a month down the line but you understand that in that moment, he was worried. He had faith in me.
