Detective Olivia Benson glanced across the bustling precinct, her eyes landing on her partner, Detective Cora Winters. They had been through countless cases together, their bond as partners growing stronger with each passing day. But there was something more, something Olivia had been keeping buried deep within her heart.As they worked tirelessly to solve a particularly challenging case, Olivia found herself stealing glances at Cora, admiring her strength, her intelligence, and her unwavering dedication to justice. Yet, she dared not confess the feelings that had been building inside her for fear of ruining their partnership.
One fateful night, during a routine stakeout, their suspect made a desperate attempt to escape, resulting in a violent struggle. In the chaos, Cora was injured, a sharp cry escaping her lips as she crumpled to the ground. Olivia's heart stopped as she rushed to her side, her hands trembling as she assessed the extent of Cora's injuries.
"C-Cora, are you okay?" Olivia's voice wavered as she knelt beside Cora, her heart pounding in her chest.
Cora winced in pain, but managed a weak nod. "I-I'll be fine," she reassured, though the strain was evident in her voice.
Panic gripped Olivia as she watched Cora being rushed to the hospital, her mind racing with fear and uncertainty. In that moment, she realized just how much Cora meant to her, how she couldn't bear the thought of losing her.
As she paced the sterile halls of the hospital, Olivia's thoughts were consumed by Cora, by the possibility of a life without her by her side. It was then that she knew she couldn't keep her feelings hidden any longer.
With a resolve born out of desperation and love, Olivia approached Cora's bedside, her heart pounding in her chest as she poured out her feelings, every word tinged with raw emotion.
"I can't lose you, Cora," Olivia's voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. "I...I love you."
Cora's eyes widened in surprise, her gaze locking with Olivia's. "Liv...I had no idea," she murmured, her own emotions raw and unguarded.
In that moment, the weight that had been pressing down on Olivia's chest lifted, replaced by a rush of overwhelming relief and joy. And as Cora reached out to grasp her hand, Olivia knew that their bond was stronger than ever before.
"I've been so scared," Olivia admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "Scared of losing you, of never telling you how I feel."
Cora squeezed Olivia's hand gently, a soft smile gracing her lips. "You don't have to be scared anymore," she whispered. "I'm here, Liv. I'm not going anywhere."
In the days that followed, as Cora recovered from her injuries, Olivia vowed to cherish every moment they shared together, to never again let fear stand in the way of their love. And as they stood side by side, facing the challenges that lay ahead, Olivia knew that no matter what the future held, they would face it together, partners in love.
