CH.2-Oliver’s Dark Knight 4 Days Later…             Looking out of the windows of the main boardroom of Queen Consolidated, Oliver gazed down across the bustling evening streets of Starling City.   It had been days since he had last talked to Laurel.   The disaster of a dinner at the best French restaurant in town had done nothing to repair the fragile trust that lay between them since his return home from the island.   If anything it had made that trust thinner than ice on an early spring day.   To top it off he had failed to take down Deadshot again.   Though Diggle wouldn’t admit to it he was furious.   Oliver couldn’t miss the look of maddening agony and anger in his eyes when he had failed to take the shot to kill Lawton.   He just couldn’t do it though.   It would have meant taking the life of an innocent woman that Lawton was using as a human shield.  ...

My first e-book is almost ready.

I'm not sure if I know how to be lonely anymore. I guess that's a good thing. I have so many things that drive me these days tnat I don't really know how to feel strong emotions like lonliness anymore. Part of me knows that inside I really am craving the companionship of a good woman. I miss the intimacy and the physical relationship.  I miss sharing the good things and the bad. With someone else that fully compliments you and wants to be there with you the good things feel better and the bad things aren't so bad. It's strange. I know I should feel worse than I am but I really don't...and it scares me. I don't know if something in me is broken or if i've reached some sort of level where I can just roll with things.  It's been like that for almost two years now... and I'm afraid that if I can't feel the strong instinct of lonliness then maybe I can't feel love again...
