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.

She sighed a little and nodded, "yeah that's the problem, it's not very logical," she said quietly, glancing at him.

He paused. "No. It usually isn't," he admitted.

"Which is why I have to think about it," she told him quietly.

Oliver glanced up at her for a brief moment, not looking her in the eyes. "Hopefully she'll still be there if you decide you're ready."

Her chest tightened a little but she shook her head, "maybe it's better for her if she finds someone else."

"Maybe," he said very softly. "Or maybe she'll just end up with people who won't give her what she needs."

With a deep breath, Chloe shook her head a little once more, she had suddenly lost her appetite completely. "Yeah, but if I can't give her the attention she needs, I'm no better than they are."
