[Scenario: rooftop, New York]
It's been a loooong time since I did this -- particularly in good ol' Manhattan. Time was, I'd be dancing across the rooftops with a bag of jewels in my teeth. But it's like the man says "crime doesn't pay." Of course, the man who said that never saw my apartment, my stock portfolio, my wardrobe, and all the stuff crime did pay for. But even though I've lived off ill-gotten gains for the past few years, I haven't so much as jaywalked in ages. And that's because of him... My little bug-aboo. Can it only be five years since Peter and I were an item? "An item"? Who am I kidding? We were doing the nasty -- nothing more, nothing less. Of course, the day he figured out that it was Spider-Man I was into and not Peter Parker, he called it quits. God, I was so stupid back then. Such a spoiled little daddy's girl. And since daddy used to be a cat burglar too, that meant I was attracted to all the wrong guys for all the wrong reasons. I've been trying to make it up to Peter in little ways ever since then. I'd love to make it up to him in big ways, but... y'know... He is a married man.
And there I was thinking I'd gotten my evening nicely planned. A little innocent art theft followed by hot cocoa and steamy chick-lit.
"Probability" is just a five-dollar word for "luck." And I'm nothing but bad luck, baby.
