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.

Oliver was already seated at the restaurant when he spotted Chloe talking to the hostess. He lifted his hand in a wave, offering her a smile when he caught her eye.

She actually smiled softly at that and nodded a little, picking up her own glass, "so you needed a break them as well as from work?"

"Maybe," he said quietly, not looking at her as he picked up his glass once more.

His stomach tightened at that. "Maybe it's not so much attention she needs as love." He had lost his appetite, too. "But I'm sure you'll do whatever's best for you." He suddenly wished for his cell phone to ring. For an emergency at QI or even Justice League related to happen, so he could have a real reason to abandon the food on the table that no longer looked at all appetizing.
