Summary: Nora Darhk and books.



Nora finished reading the last page in the well-worn paperback and placed it down on top of the ever-growing pile by her cot. Mona had been bringing her new books on a regular basis since she started working at the Time Bureau and while it had been annoying at first, Nora quickly came to appreciate the gesture.

This latest novel had been a steamy time travel romance that had really hit the spot. Nora hadn't read for pleasure since she was a little girl. Growing up in a death cult, the only books she'd been given regular access to had been obscure occult texts. They weren't exactly pleasure reading material.

Prison sucked, but having all this time to read was kind of awesome. Romance novels were way better than she could have imagined. They made her feel good, she loved the way everyone got happy endings. Sure it wasn't exactly realistic and she couldn't imagine that her own story would follow that formula but it offered a much needed escape from her currently bleak reality. Then again, if anyone could pull off a romance novel ending to her story it would be Ray Palmer. A girl could dream, couldn't she?
