.

Oliver couldn't believe his ears. He dreamed about that moment for a long time, more than he liked to admit and he couldn't help but feel terrible. He felt numb for a while, everyone in the party looking at him, some with pity, some shocked. He couldn't believe she was doing this to him, out loud, in front of everybody when he tried to be as discrete as possible.

She said no.

A loud no.

Felicity managed to destroy him in a single second. He had an automatic answer, deciding to break things up right there at that moment. It was the right thing to do, he thought. He saw her going to the upper level, and smiled awkwardly at everyone, turning around and taking a deep breath.

- Are you ok, man? – Barry approached, asking in a low voice, with a worried look in his face.

- Yes... I'm sorry about this by the way... I just need some air.

Barry gave a small nod with his head.

- Its ok, man!

Oliver disappeared from the crowd and went outside. He felt bad because this was supposed to be his friend's special night; he didn't want to ruin it for them. He felt somehow guilty about her reaction.

- I'm sorry... - Oliver heard and turned around.

He was near the Jitters, but far away for no one inside to see him. Once he looked properly, he noticed it was Kara Danvers talking to him. He wondered what she was doing away from the party as well.

- I couldn't help... - She pointed to her ears with an apologetic look – I heard noises and got worried...

- It's ok...

Oliver looked down, thinking about it all. He took a deep breath and looked at Kara.

- And... Why are you here all by yourself?

- I needed to take some air... - She said, adjusting her fake glasses.

- Looks like we had the same idea! Want to go for a walk?

- Sure!

Oliver smiled back at Kara and they started walking around the block. It was a nice evening, not so cold. Oliver noticed Kara looked really nice in a cute blue dress, knee high. He never noticed before how beautiful she was.

- You look sad... - Oliver said looking into her eyes and noticing something that was not there before, a different shadow.

- I was talking to Barry about life... He wondered why I didn't have my plus one with me tonight. It's a long and hurtful story; it takes some time to heal.

- Well, you know my long and hurtful story. I just proposed and heard a no... The rest you know. So you could tell me yours and we could be sad together.

- My sister says that misery loves company... - Kara said in a thoughtful way – I had a boyfriend... Had to send him away to save his life.

- Away like... Another city?

- The space!

- Oh...

Oliver had no idea what to say, he never heard that one before but again, Kara was one of a kind and everything with her was unique and different, a good different. He squeezed her shoulder slightly with one of his hands.
