       the expression on her face reminded him of his former
       self, still a boy trying to figure things out, not the man
       who took responsibility for a job he never wanted to do.
       at least allison was honest with herself. so he stands
       from his desk, walking around to fetch his wallet. 

                   ’ okay c’mon, get up. if you came to starling city
                     to figure things out, being in an office all day
                     won’t help you. tell your dad you’re coming to a
                     board meeting with me so he doesn’t call the office. ‘

                   confusion befell her features, but she din’t
                   argue. standing, her fingers flashed over her
                   phone. text message sent. & she stood, bag 
                   slung haphazardly over her shoulder. where
                   was he taking her?

                ❛ ok —— want to tell me where we’re going?  ❜
                                        she asked without malice.
