The next day Oliver had set up a press conference so that Quinten could announce that he would be running for Mayor. Oliver announced Quinten and then he went out into the crowd with the rest of his family to watch. Once the press conference was over everyone went to the bunker in order to get ready to go out on patrol.

"I think your dad did a good job up there today. He has a lot of good policies in mind as well." Oliver said.

"Yeah, he did really good up there. I just hope that it isn't too much for his heart." Sara said.

"He will be fine, and I think it will be good for him to get away from being a cop. It is time for him to get out of the field at least." Oliver said.

Laurel walked into the bunker and everyone turned to see her. "What are you doing here? Tonight, is your night off." Sara said.

"I just thought I would stop by and check up on everyone before I leave. It's not like it takes me a long time to get here being that I work upstairs." Laurel said.

"We're good. Now get out of here or you are going to be late for your date with Tommy." Oliver said.

"Ok, I know when I am not wanted." Laurel said with a smile before she turned around to leave.

Later that night Laurel and Tommy were eating at the Indian place that they both liked to go to. It had been a great night so far because they both finally had a night off where they could just be together without having to worry that something was going to come up. Soon the waiter came around to their table and took their order. When they had finished giving their order, they got back to talking about what they had been doing lately.

"So, how is work now that you are in charge?" Tommy asked.

"I like it. I still do pretty much the same thing I did in CNRI, I just get to be more picky now, even though it also allows me to take cases that CNRI wouldn't let me take. So, everything is good right now." Laurel said.

"What about your other job?" Tommy asked.

"I love it. It allows me to be able to help people that I wouldn't be able to help otherwise." Laurel said.

"I am glad that you like it, it is just that we hardly ever get to see each other." Tommy said.

"I know, and I am sorry about that, but I can't quit either of my jobs." Laurel said.

"I would never ask you to, but I just wish you only had your 9 to 5 job sometimes." Tommy said.

"I know you do, but I think I have finally found my calling. I just never felt complete when I was just a lawyer. I know I helped people and all of that but there was just something missing. Now I feel complete with both of my jobs, because I get to help people that can't get help through the law as well." Laurel said.

"Are you sure that's what it is?" Tommy asked.

"What are you trying to say Tommy?" Laurel asked.

"Are you sure that it's not because you get to be around Oliver?" Tommy asked.

"I can't believe you said that Tommy. I picked you over Ollie. Sure, there will always be a part of me that loves him, but I picked you because I love you more. Don't you ever doubt that." Laurel said.

"I will try not to. It's just that Oliver can do things that I can't, and I can't help but feel that you are being taken away from me sometimes." Tommy said.

"So, is this a breakup dinner?' Laurel asked.

"No, it is to see where we both are at. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone before. I just want to see where you are at." Tommy said.

"I want to be with you Tommy. I love you. But if you are going to keep on doubting that then maybe this won't work." Laurel said.

"I am not doubting that you love me. I know you do. I guess what I am trying to say is that I might not be able to fight, but I might be able to help the team out in some sort of way. I just feel left out sometimes because I am not part of that part of all of y'alls lives." Tommy said.

"Well, why didn't you ever say something. We would have brought you in a long time ago if you had mentioned it." Laurel said.

"I didn't want anything to do with it at first, but now that I hardly get to see any of y'all I think I am ready to join up now." Tommy said.

"Well, come to my office tomorrow night and we will talk to the rest of the team about you joining in some capacity." Laurel said.

"Thanks. Now that we got that out of the way. How about dessert?" Tommy said and Laurel smiled.

"I think that would be nice, but I am feeling ice cream at that shop that we always go to." Laurel said.

"I like that idea. I will just pay and then we can go get some ice cream and then we can go and take a walk in the park too." Tommy said and Laurel nodded.

After Tommy had paid for their meal and they had both been in the ice cream shop, they were now walking through the part. They got to the fountain and just looked at it for a few minutes. When Laurel turned to look at Tommy, he had gotten down on one knee and had a jewelry box in his hand.

"Laurel, I know we have not been seeing each other as much as we would like, but that doesn't change the fact that you are the love of my life. I would do anything I "I know that we haven't seen each other much lately and I also know that I would do anything for you. You are the love of my life, so will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me Dinah Laurel Lance?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, I will marry you Tommy Merlyn." Laurel said with tears in her eye. She watched as Tommy put the ring on her finger and then he stood up and they kissed.
