Days Like These (Fred)
Displaying its' cruelty as always, the City had moved the Sherwood Florist right across the street from Harry's office building a few days ago, right after Dinah had left the break-up letter for Harry. She... really wasn't ready to face him. She knew that they'd probably need to talk about it at some point, but she didn't want that to be just because there was a chance running into each other outside of their workplaces.

For that matter, she didn't really want to talk about it at all. She'd done the right thing, as much as it hurt. And she hoped that he would take the little bit of advice she'd given him regarding making things right with Murphy.

She'd waited for the City to shift things again. It usually happened fairly often, but this time it... didn't.

In fact, the entire City had stopped moving. Dinah didn't really know what to make of that, and she wasn't in the mood for yet another puzzle to solve. Not when her mind was still filled with trying to find a way to kill the vampire that had attacked her and threatened Hank.

She was a little bit preoccupied with that, and with trying not to linger too long outside of the florist shop when she left for the day. Since it was the day after Valentine's Day, there was a nice lull to recover from the holiday rush. She looked both ways and then hurried across the street to the only parking spot she could find with her motorcycle, hoping that she wouldn't run into Harry before she could get to the bike itself.

"Of course." Fred gave Dinah a slight smile. "If you can determine whether or not his blood is still in your system, let me know. It'd be interesting to see if it does register as a truly foreign substance."

Fred looked around then at Dinah.

"I guess if you're heading to the Tower, maybe I could get a ride with you? If the City really isn't moving and all." She smiled sheepishly. "It's okay if you'd rather not."

Dinah climbed on the bike and then retrieved her spare helmet and held it out to Fred.

"Of course I don't mind."

She gave Fred a reassuring smile. She felt a little bad that she wasn't giving her friend the chance to delay the inevitable talk by going out for pasta, but she would be there after if things went badly.

And she really really needed to talk to Hank. She just hoped he was in.
