[ Harley's not necessarily in a rush to get back to her world, either. Even if she's not sent right back to prison, what are the chances of her staying out? Gotham City has the tendency to bring out the worst in her, and she barely has to do more than sneeze the wrong way before she has fifteen cops surrounding her. Harley's notoriety is more curse than gift, when it comes to Gotham City.
But, maybe if she had the chance to start somewhere new where nobody knew about her or her past or her whirlwind romance with Joker? Maybe she could stay out of trouble. At least out of the real big, supermax prison kind of trouble. And even if she couldn't, there's a whole world out there just ripe for exploring. She wants to see and experience new things, and a lot's new to her considering the amount of time she's spent either behind bars, under Joker's thumb, or with her head shoved in books, studying. Harley hasn't had much time to just...be Harley, and figure out what that really means to her. She can only hope that when she gets that time to really find herself, Jesse'll be there too. She'd like that. It feels right when she thinks about it, as scary as that is.
She's trying not to get too ahead of herself. Trying to tread lightly, but she can't help how fast and hard she's falling for him, and maybe she's ready to start admitting to herself that that's what's happening. She reaches for Jesse's free hand, the one without the joint, and takes hold of it. ]
Maybe when...if we ever get through most of our sentences we can, like, coordinate so we hit the last one of the same day. Maybe they'll let us leave together. I don't know. I know that's...that's far in the future. I don't even know what's on your list, but. I don't want to leave here and end up in another universe and just...forget about you. You mean a lot to me, Jesse. It's...it happened fast, but I can't sit here and lie and pretend I'd be okay if I knew I might never see you again.
