"Promise," she repeats, her own smile widening too.
When Barry takes a deep breath, she readies herself for whatever confession he was going to make. Whatever it was, she was confident she'd be able to make him feel better.
But the moment lasts so long that she panics for a second — oh my god, that hug, what if it felt weird because it was foreshadowing that fact that Barry is about to say something like: Felicity, I love you, I've always loved you. It was her turn to breathe in, as Felicity's eyes began narrowing more and more as she waited for Barry to say something. Say anything.
Then he finally does, and she blinks for a moment. "Ha," she says, a little more flustered than makes sense for the moment. But she holds up a finger — just one sec — as she calms down and collects herself.
"Barry, my being here isn't your fault. And blaming yourself is the one thing you do not need to learn from Oliver. Plus. Who knows? Maybe it's a selfless thing to be happy that I'm here. Who else is more qualified to help you take on an oversized monster Computer?"
