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 smiled back sleepily, then rubbed a hand over his face. "What time is it?"

"Well, around one in California," she told him, "around four here."

He smirked at that. "What about in London?"

Chloe rolled her eyes and smirked at him, "that's a lot of timezones away but I think it's about nine at night," she told him, reaching over and poking his side, "what else would you like to know?"

"Why is the grass green?" He grinned, reaching out and poking her lightly in her side.

"For the same reason why the sky is blue and if I revealed that to you, I would have to kill you so..." she smirked, squirming away from his poke as she wrapped her hand around his finger.

He chuckled softly when she squirmed away, looking down as Nellie lifted her head to watch them.

She kept her eyes on him, it was so refreshing to see him smiling and teasing like this, but a moment later, she looked at the dog and grinned at Oliver, "see what happens when you move her pillow? You woke her up."

"Hey, you're the one who started the poke war," he informed her with a smirk, patting the bed between them and grinning as Nellie stood up and moved between them and laid back down once more. He scratched behind her ears and looked over at Chloe once more, still smiling.

Chloe smiled and rubbed the dog's side, shaking her head a little, "and I thought I was spoiling her, you're so much worse than I am."

"I fail to see how spoiling her is a bad thing," he informed her.

"Yeah, I guess at least she won't turn into a bratty teenager," she smirked, shifting closer and wrapping her arm around Ollie, trapping Nellie between the two of them.

Oliver gazed at her, still rubbing Nellie's ears gently. "What made you decide you were ready to adopt a dog?" His voice was quieter.

Chloe paused at that and held her breath, looking down at Nellie too, "you," she admitted quietly, glancing at him again.

"Me?" His eyebrows furrowed a little at that. "What do you mean?"

She swallowed hard and shifted on the bed, "do you remember that talk we had at the restaurant? About whether I should adopt one or not?" She asked quietly.

He met her eyes for a moment, then dropped his gaze to Nellie, gently petting her once more. "Yeah. I remember."

She nodded a little and pursed her lips together, forcing herself to be honest with him, regardless of how terrifying it was, "I think we both know we weren't really talking about dogs then." She said quietly, her heart beating fast against her chest.

"But I figured maybe taking her in would help me not be so afraid of letting you close," she whispered, "and that maybe it would let you know I was trying to make an effort, in a way."

Oliver was silent for a few moments, taking that in. "I get why you were scared," he said very quietly.

Chloe took a deep breath before turning her head up slightly to look at him again, "you do?"
