"I didn't mean it that way Bruce, and there's no possibility of her coming back. I've run myself ragged trying to see if there was anything left of her. And there's been so sign since the Tower."

"I'm sorry it's...I'm not angry with you. But I'm glad to hear that there's no way she can return."

"I know."
She scrunched up her mouth the side of her face and searched for things to say.

((Well, crap. Now it's awkward.))
"So..."

((That would be my key to have Jess skeedaddle.))
Jess sighed "I'm at Le Rogue, the inn, you remember, if you want to talk more" she grabbed her bag and took out a piece of paper and wrote the number down, and her room number. "There's still a lot of be said, I, maybe it should just be left for another time" pushing out her hand with the paper in it, she smiled.

He took the paper, carefully tucking it in his jacket pocket as he gave Jess a somewhat melancholy smile.
"All right. And you definitely don't need to be told how to find me."

"Of course" nodding she hiked up her bag "I'll be busy, now that I've been outed. a lot of people to apologize to, a lot more explaining." She turned her heels toward the door, but instead, threw her arms around Bruce, uncaring of how he'd react.

"Good luck."
He jumped in surprise when she hugged him, but then fiercely hugged her back. He'd meant what he said, about still caring about her.

Pressing her face in to his neck she whispered another well meant "I'm sorry."

She didn't want to let go, there was something in her that told her that it could be again, that they could be again. But there was another part of her that told her that what was there was too bruised, to broke to ever be put back together.
Before finally pulling back, she inhaled softly, taking in his cologne.
"I'll see you around Bruce."

He had a lot of similar feelings, though mixed in with them was still that bit of guilt that was there no matter how much Jess had tried to say that it wasn't his fault. He couldn't help feeling it.
He reluctantly let go, knowing on some level that it would have to be more than just letting go after a hug.
"See you around."

Grabbing the door, she rushed out toward the car that was waiting for her.

Bruce made it to a window in time to see the car pull away, and even after it had been out of sight for some time he didn't move from his spot. Then, slowly, he headed upstairs to his office. Not to hole up in there--his aim was the secret entrance to the Batcave. Maybe he could distract himself by mucking around down there .
