Oliver was running late and felt bad about it since he and Laurel had dinner plans but after a rough day all he wanted to do was stay in and relax instead of going out to dinner. Thankfully Laurel was alright with that. While they certainly were not back together they were friends and friends hung out together and that was what they were doing. Ever since she found out he was the Arrow they'd become closer.
When Laurel arrived he let her in, smiling a little sheepishly as he handed her his wallet so that she could pay for their dinner when it arrived, "I'm running a little behind." He admitted, "I'm going to grab a quick shower. I ordered us dinner from your favorite Chinese place, got you those dumplings you love so much so when the food arrives go ahead and pay for it." He told her.
Then he headed to the bathroom to get his shower, stripping quickly and stepping into the shower, planning to make it quick so he could spend the rest of his evening with Laurel.
