"I'd prefer it."
He felt a lurch, wondering what it was she was going to say. Maybe he was being an idiot, confessing what he felt...

*It took her a few moments to get the words straight in her head.*
"When you're in my profession, you deal with a lot of people. You get really good at noticing things and...I can't help but notice that there's this brick wall between you and the people around you."
*She paused.*
"I think you're afraid to let people in. And I just might be preaching to the choir here, but all I can say is... don't be."
*With that, Lois reached out, gave his arm a little squeeze then walked past him and headed out of the library.*

He stood there silently, staring after where'd she gone for a few moments. She was right.
He'd learned rather early on that getting close to people only rang the death knell for them--look at his parents, or Jess. And even if they didn't die, they got hurt enough to be close to it. Look what had happened to Alfred...
And now there was Lois. Even though he could want to, he couldn't get close...that damned Joker...
With a sigh, he not longer afterwards left the Library.
