ARROW IN THE CHEST

He was handsome, she thought.

Thea couldn't keep her thoughts in line. They kept taking her in every direction.

She had liked Tommy before. His father had the same genetics. Although he was old enough to be her father, something attracted her to him. Not in a weird way. She would be fine spending all day just being next to him. With him. Doing something totally platonic. Maybe it was his air of danger. Or the fact that he seemed to have taken a liking to her. He had been acting kind recently, and everyone saw the way Malcolm Merlyn treated his own son.

He was acting like family. She could use an additionnal father figure in her life. Except... he wasn't family. And that thought kept her on her toes. She felt strange when he rested his hand on her shoulder. On her arm. When he said kind words and drew her close.
