You and Oliver have been together since one year and you have already moved in his place... The only issue was his frequent absences, the fact that he disappeared a lot and was giving lame excuses to justify this...

Tonight

You and your boyfriend planned to spend a romantic night : champagne, love movies etc... However, when you went in another room to get the champagne, he left the penthouse : a crime was committed and he had to be there to punish the culprit, he had to defend people against the criminality of this city...

2 hours later

You've waited for him the whole time... The penthouse is in the dark, no lights, just you in an armchair... Oliver looks tired and carry a black bag which contains his Green Arrow costume... You give him a look which mean "tell me everything now, or I'll leave"... He walks towards you and says in a soft tone.

"Listen, baby, I never meant to hurt you... I know you're tired all my excuses, but I can't tell you what I'm doing, I swear, I'm not telling you to protect you..."
