People seem to have the misconception that mob's daughters are either spoiled or live in constant fear for their lives. She doesn't know what to make of that.
It's safe to say that it started as a childhood crush. When she approached him in the holiday resort, he already seemed smitten with his friend Julie Madison. Oh, well. Lucky for him little girls can fall off love just as quickly.
The next time she sees Bruce at her father's party, she knows who he is. It's clear that he isn't the same little boy she got a crush on years ago. Before their talk can evolve into something more, tragedy strikes and her father is shot. The saying that blood runs thicker than water starts to gain sense.
People seem have the misconception that mob bosses are either proud idiots or heartless persons who would kill a kid with no hesistation. She doesn't know what to make of that.
Each time she and Bruce hang out it feels like an interrogation. Maybe all the charm and flair was solely for the media. In the end, it's clear that she won't get anything out of this.
As the years pass and the Moxon Empire grows she feels the shadow that watches her close his distance.
Batman isn't as intimidating as she thought. Maybe her father and workers exaggerated due to fear. Once she gave him the info he wanted (which wasn't a lot) he left her alone. Perhaps it was time to return to Gotham.
Bruce has approached her again looking for romance. She doesn't know why she gives in.
Apparently neither she nor Bruce found out what they were looking for in each other and she is ok with it. She really is. She just... doesn't know what to make of it.
Mallory Moxon followed in her father's footsteps even after his death, becoming the head of his criminal empire. Maybe someday she will find what she's looking for.
