Oliver was finally going to do it. He was going to tell Felicity how he felt about her and stop being so miserable. He finally took Diggle's advice to man up and accept that he could be happy. Hopefully he wasn't too late. Felicity had heard what he said to Cutter about needing to be alone because of the life he leads. That if he was with someone he would just be putting them in danger.

Felicity was hurt and angry at the same time. She would want nothing more than to be with Oliver, but he was too stubborn to accept that she was a grown up that could make her own decisions. After she heard everything he said to Cutter she was devastated he had made the decision for her about if they could be together or not. She needed to get out of the foundry and think for a little. She went to the office, she isn't going to sleep so she may as well get some work done. And who walks in other than Ray Palmer.

Ray walks in and says "I thought I might find you here."

Felicity obviously couldn't tell him the truth about arrow and why she was really upset so she says "Sorry for ruining the deal tonight, I thought I might get a jump start on the server upgrades you asked for to make up for it."

"Your definition or ruin is very different than mine. If it wasn't for you we wouldn't have closed the deal." Ray said making her feel a little bit better.

"We closed it? That's great." With a mumbling reply "Does that mean I get to keep the necklace?" in a surprisingly hopeful voice.

"Unfortunately, no I need that back" in an apologetic tone which she thought was a little funny. "Let me help take it off." She agrees and turns around so he can unclip the necklace. After it is off Felicity turns around a little too quick and all of a sudden they are face to face.

It's silent neither of them knowing what to do. Ray slowly looks into to her eyes and then down to her lips and back into her eyes. He leans in and their lips gently meet. She doesn't stop him. She could have at any moment, but with all the disappointment that happened with Oliver maybe she needs this.

When he starts pulling back Felicity opens her eyes and she could swear to god she saw Oliver in the door way. She does a quick double take and he is gone. She is going to have to check the cameras later.

Oliver walks through the lobby of his onetime building and get on the elevator to her office. Wondering to himself what am I going to say? How am I going to do this? Than he thinks of how amazing it will be to kiss her, to hear the words back, to wake up next to her in the morning and make her breakfast. Suddenly his nerves are gone and replaced with his long lost smile.

Until he get out of the elevator that is. He rounds the corner and sees the one thing that he couldn't imagine. He immediately gets out of there hoping she didn't see him and goes back to the foundry to be alone.

Unfortunately for him Dig forgot his wallet and was walking in as well. Surprised Oliver is there he wonders why he isn't with Felicity, they obviously both love eachother.

"I don't like the look on your face. Did Felicity not take it well?" Dig asked somberly.

"Didn't get a chance to tell her…" Oliver replies "got off the elevator and saw her and Palmer kissing. Guess you were right, she didn't want to be alone, and I was too late."

"I'm sorry Oliver, I really wish I wasn't right in this case. I know you love her."

Oliver takes a second before answering "Ya I do. It's for the best though. She deserves someone better than me. Someone that is always going to be there for her. Someone for her to come home to at night and tell him how her day was. There is so much light in her eyes. I lost that light so long ago and if she is with me than I will just put out that light. Not to mention he is still a billionaire."

After hearing this Dig stands up and raises his voice to say "Why would you every say that Oliver that girl is crazy about you and you know it."

Oliver looks down at the floor and says "Dig look at me I spent 5 years either learning how to kill people on a deserted island or working as an A.R.G.U.S assassin. I came home with one mission to save my city and I failed….twice. Chances are I am gonna be dead soon anyways" defeated.

Dig is speechless for a second he has never seen Oliver so ready to give up there is always a way out, to keep fighting. But the anger that has always been in his eyes is gone and is replaced by darkness. He doesn't know what to say other than "all I know is that she is head over heels in love with you. And if you can't accept that she wants to be with you fine, but know that you always got me as a brother. "

"Thanks"

"Lyla is making a late dinner, come on I will call Roy and have him join. I know he was feeling down about Thea."

At the same time Felicity was checking the cameras and realized she did see Oliver. She sees how he walked in at the worst moment possible and the hurt in his eyes even though the grainy cameras. She has to find his to let him know that it was just a miss understanding. She somehow knows what he was here to tell her and she feels horrible.
