Conference with [profile] dl_greenarrow.

It was a little after ten when her computer informed her of an incoming call. She frowned a little and held her breath as she adjusted on her chair, the caller ID was telling her the caller was 'Emerald Archer' and although she knew they had planned a conference call, she was sure it had been canceled after the way their disastrous lunch ended.

With a deep breath, she nodded a little to herself and ran her fingers through her hair before accepting the call. She couldn't ignore work if he needed her and she had the feeling he wouldn't be calling unless it was extremely necessary.

He sighed heavily, his own jaw tightening a little. "Fine. Whatever you think is best."

Chloe took a deep breath, "I'll start looking into the information you--" she stopped talking when she heard a faint bark behind her. She'd picked up the dog the very next day after their talk.

He blinked a couple of times, raising his eyebrows. "You got the dog?"

She glanced at the computer and nodded, leaning down and picking up the puppy before sitting back down on her chair, "yeah."

"Oh." He stared at the computer screen for a long moment. "Well, that's...congratulations."

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you," she said quietly, looking down at the dog as she lifted her a little so he could see her too. "They were calling her Coco at the shelter, I haven't found her a name yet."

He smiled very faintly when he saw the pup she was holding. "She's cute."

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Chloe smiled softly as the dog started licking her face, "thank you. She's really smart."

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
He smirked a little at that. "Figured." He raised an eyebrow at her.

"And she's good company," she said quietly, smiling at the dog faintly as she pressed a kiss to her head. She wasn't going to tell him about it, but it had gotten incredibly lonely in Metropolis in the past month and half.

Oliver drew in a breath and nodded a little. "Good," he said quietly.

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Chloe took a deep breath and looked at at the dog then back at him, "is there anything else you wanted to talk to me about?"

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
He felt his chest tighten at her words and he shook his head a little. "No, I think we're good. Did you need something?"

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
She stared at him for a moment then shook her head a little, hugging the dog to her, "not really, I'll get started on the research."

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Right. Thanks," he said softly, nodding. "All right. Well, have a good night. Stay safe." He rubbed a hand over his face warily before reaching toward the button to end the conference.

"Ollie, wait." She called, her eyes widening a little.

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
He paused, glancing up at the screen once more. "Yeah?"

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Chloe pursed her lips together and looked at him for a long moment, "I'm sorry."

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
He shut his eyes for a moment. "You don't...there's no reason to apologize, Chloe."

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
She took a deep breath and shook her head a little, "there is, I just, I'm not sure how to fix it." She said quietly, looking down.

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
He was silent for a moment, looking down, as well. "I'm not sure it can be fixed. Maybe it's not supposed to be."

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Chloe's jaw clenched and she felt her eyes tearing up so she kept her head down, "maybe it's not." She whispered, her voice wavering slightly.

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe we should try something else instead." His voice was quiet, his chest tightening at the faint tremor in her voice.

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
She took a deep breath, trying to pull herself together but she didn't lift her head, "like what?"

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2011-01-26 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe we should just act like none of what happened...happened."
