Ch. 18- Wanting to Know

(Olivia POV)

Everyone was filing outside the room. Elliot leaned in and kissed my hand gently. I smiled, "What do you want to talk about?" I got serious.

"Liv, I know that Harris assaulted Ashley and other women at that prison. But you changed a lot after you came back from Sealview. And Harris came back, why for you? What happened in the basement?"

"El, I-I don't want to talk about that. Nothing happened," I lied.

"Liv, babe, you've been my partner for God knows how long. We've been together for five months now. You can tell me anything, and I won't think anything less of you."

"But Elliot I know you. I know you'll want to do something that you'd regret. I couldn't put your kids or Kathy through that. I know Kathy still cares about you. I couldn't put them through that! I couldn't live with you being in jail. I can't!" I started to cry.

"Shh, shh, it's okay Liv."

"S-Sorry," I stuttered.

"You don't have anything to be sorry about." I cried and he held my hand. He leaned over and kissed my head.
