The very next morning, they made their way to Maine. Chloe had spent most of the previous day finding them a place to stay and they had ended up deciding on a bed and breakfast that luckily was dog-friendly so the three of them could stay there without a problem.

Their luggage had already been brought in and Chloe had Nellie in her arms as they walked into the room. It was... incredibly cozy. In a way, it made her feel like she was back in Smallville, most of the furniture was made out of wood and the room had blankets draped over the back of the small couch, lots of pillows and blankets on the bed and a large fireplace. It looked like a good place to help Oliver heal and of course the fact that the double glass doors of the room faced the ocean wouldn't hurt either.

What also had helped was the fact that Chloe had spent the other part of the previous day researching the girl he had helped and it looked like she was doing well. She was only fourteen years old but now that her worst nightmare was dead, the girl seemed to have moved on quickly. She had left her dad's house and moved in with an Aunt who lived in San Francisco and it looked like her grades and attendance had improved by a hundred percent.

Chloe had been incredibly relieved to find out that the girl was doing well, but she had also been able to feel Oliver relaxing, even if slightly, when he heard the news.

He grinned a little, shrugging, ducking his head as he unzipped his suitcase and started to hang things up in the closet. "She does a great job at keeping my feet warm," he responded.

She couldn't help but grin too when she saw the look on his face, "I know, clearly she likes you better than she likes me, my feet are constantly cold now," she teased. If she had to guess, Nellie probably could tell Ollie wasn't doing well, people just didn't give dogs enough credit.

"Well, you could sleep with socks on," he teased, his voice a little lighter than it had been in weeks.

"Oh so you're just going to steal my dog and pretend nothing happened?" She asked, picking up the bag with her toiletries and starting to the bathroom, "I see how it works, Queen."
