Oliver wouldn't meet Felicity's eyes, instead focusing them on the hands clasped in front of him. He was hunched over, as if the position would protect him, his elbows resting on his knees. "I'm afraid of losing you." His voice was soft, vulnerable -- more like a young child than an almost-thirty year old vigilante. "You...Diggle...you guys are my family -- and I've already lost so much." His face buried in his hands, "What happened tonight, the Count...that was my fault. I almost lost you because I was too stupid to handle the situation the way it should have been handled. It won't happen again."
