[Open--particularly to those who know Oliver, or might randomly come across him in a hospital]

[olliequeen]

Oliver had only been in the hospital for a day (and not a full one at that) and he was more than ready to get out. Despite the fact that he'd lost enough blood a transfusion had to be performed, and the fact that he was in a great deal of pain (which he wasn't about to readily admit), he just wanted to go home.

But to no avail. Dr. Hamilton informed him he'd be there at least a couple more days before he'd have his freedom back.

"I hate hospitals," he grumbled, flipping through the TV channels once more.

Chloe raised her eyebrows a little and smiled, "and where else would that bed be?"

"I was thinking somewhere along the lines of Ireland." He gazed at her intently.

"I thought you might say that," she brushed her thumb over his cheek and nodded, "as soon as Dr. Hamilton say you can go, we'll go. We've waited too long." She paused and shrugged, "besides, in Ireland, you won't feel restless because you can't resume your nightly duties."

A smile tugged at his lips. "I hope you're referring to my nightly duties that involve wearing green leather and not the other kind."

At that, she grinned softly, "definitely not the other kind. No point in spending the whole day in bed and not being able to do that..."

"I really agree." He winked at her, then reached out and took her hand. "So we leave as soon as I'm sprung from this place?" he asked hopefully.

Chloe raised her eyebrows, linking her fingers with his, "no, as soon as you are well enough to travel and to walk around and do everything we want to do. I don't want those stitches bursting."

He sighed softly and looked down at their fingers. "All right."

She leaned down and kissed his cheek softly, "maybe in a couple of weeks."
