It's been raining all day, gloomy New York winter weather. The whole squad has been working their asses off trying to get this case solved.
Elliot looked over at Olivia, sat at her desk, reading through the evidence over and over. He wished life wasn't so complicated, but with finding out Kathy was pregnant, again, and then the addition of Eli, it had made everything even more complicated. On top of that he and Kathy had been separated again for the past 6 months.
'She understands every single part of me' Elliot thought to himself, as he watched Olivia walk over to make another pot of coffee.
'You want some El' she said bending down to grab the mugs from the bottom cabinet.
Elliot looked over and saw her cleavage pop out of the top of her blouse as she grabbed the mugs. He rubbed his hands down his face and shuffled in his chair, as he tried to make it less obvious that he was staring at her black lace bra that was in clear view.
'El?' she said, as he got lost in his train of thought. 'O-oh yeah sure' he stuttered.
'Why was he staring' Olivia thought to herself as she made the coffee, instantly becoming self conscious.
'Here El' she said, putting the mug on my desk. 'Thanks Liv' he replied, 'Hey wanna go grab drinks after work?'. 'Yeah that would be nice' she said with a smile.
The squad spent the next 3 hours working the case, it felt like they were making no progress trying to catch this rapist. Olivia and Elliot were reading over case files while Fin and Munch headed out to canvas the surroundings of the crime scene.
'Hey liv, you wanna head out?' Elliot said. 'Yeah let's get out of here' she replied with a smile and grabbing her coat.
They chatted about the case as they walked out of the precinct, and drove uptown to their favourite bar. Olivia couldn't help but notice something was different about Elliot, she knew he and Kathy were struggling with their marriage, and had separated again. And then the addition of a new baby had further taken a tole, but something was different about him recently. He looked relaxed.
'What do you want liv?' he asked, as they walked into the bar. 'I'll take a red wine please' she replied, smiling at the server and then at Elliot.
They sat down at the end of the bar, like they always did, and made small talk about their usual topics. Olivia couldn't help but smile as Elliot waffled on at her without a care in the world.
'What's wrong liv?' he asked with a smile, noticing the change in her expression. 'Nothing' she replied, 'I just think it's time for shots!'
Olivia walked to the other end of the bar to buy the drinks, she turned around and saw Elliot's face light up when she returned with a bottle of tequila.
'Olivia' he said with a grin, 'Are you trying to kill me'.
She laughed as she poured them both a shot. They both took it back, following it with the leftover drinks from their first round. She laughed at him as he coughed down the tequila, followed with his beer to reduce the burn. She felt happy when she was with Stabler. She felt at home.
And as the night went on, and they both drained their last drink, they got up to leave. But Olivia can't quite remember how she got home that night.
