A Favor. With furtum_est_vita.

Oliver had already completed the majority of his Christmas shopping for the season. But there was one item--the most important one on his list--that he really wanted a second opinion on. Lois was out of town for the week, visiting the General, and the other woman whose name came to mind just happened to be nearby on business.

Anytime Bela was in or even near Kansas, they made an effort to visit and catch up, so the timing had been perfect. Chloe was at work for the day, so he knew he'd have plenty of time to visit with Bela and get her thoughts on the particular gift in question.

Now he was just waiting for her to arrive at the clocktower.

"Really? You really think she'll like it?" His eyes were bright as he took it from her once more. He wondered if she had any idea how much her words meant to him.

"I would take a picture of her face after you give that to her, too. You can start a scrapbook." Teasing him, even if she is serious about the idea.

He chuckled involuntarily at her words. "I may have to do that." Oliver slid the ring box back into his desk drawer. He smiled at her.

"So when are you planning on asking her?"

"New Year's Eve," he admitted. "I know that's kind of cliche. I debated on Christmas Eve, but I sort of have another surprise for that."

"You spoil people, you know that?"
