It had been a long time since she'd seen Oliver, not because they'd been arguing this time, but because they'd both been busy. They still talked on the phone and emailed back and forth but she'd been working a lot at the Planet and he'd been running a lot of missions with the guys, which she'd been helping with, but she'd been working out of the Clocktower on her own since the 33.1s they were looking into were mostly out of the country.

It had been at least four weeks at this point since he was last in town and last time she checked, they were in Argentina, so she was more than a little surprised when she got Oliver's text that said: Up for lunch, Sidekick?.

So a little after one, she made her way out of the Planet and over to the Italian restaurant Oliver had suggested. Since their trip to New York, everyone at work knew she was close with him and although she was sure most people suspected they were sleeping together, she didn't want to give them proof of anything and she'd rather not be the subject of office gossip anyway.

Chloe shook her head a little and took a deep breath, "you don't have to apologize, it's okay." She wanted to tell him she was glad to see him, but she didn't want him to take it the wrong way.

"All right." His voice stayed soft and he didn't meet her eyes. "How've you been?"

"Busy, although not as busy as you," she told him quietly, watching him closely, "you?"

"Yeah, just busy, too," he said, nodding a little and reaching out casually to pick up his wine glass. "Spending way too much time with overgrown children." His voice was lighter, teasing with the last part.
