Talking Things Through. With chloeas.

The drive back to the clock tower was long and silent. He wanted to ask her what had happened, but he knew her well enough to know she needed some time to sort it out in her own mind before he started asking questions. It was no secret to anyone who knew them that Chloe and Tess pretty much hated one another, and had since they'd first met. He knew there were a lot of reasons behind that hatred, and frankly he didn't think it was something either of them were going to be getting past anytime in the near future.

He shut the car off once it was in the underground parking lot beneath the tower, and glanced over at her. When she didn't make a move, he slowly climbed out of the car and moved around to the passenger side, opening the door silently and unfastening her seatbelt.

"Put your arms around my neck," he said softly, wincing at the large bruise that was already forming beneath her right eye.

"I can walk," she told him, taking a deep breath bit still not moving as he leaned closer, "I'm fine," her back was hurting quite a bit, probably from hitting the knife block and her head was exploding but otherwise, she was physically okay.

"What isn't?" he asked quietly, gently settling the ice pack on her back and smoothing the hair back from her face.

"Well," she said quietly, her expression sincere, "it means a lot to me, I know the past few days weren't easy on you either and we still don't have answers for most of it," mainly, for Jimmy.
