POV: Y/n comes in to work with a black eye. And has been off since she has been with her boyfriend for 7 months.
She thought she had already escaped the worst of it.
After a relationship that slowly turned from love into control, fear, and abuse, she is left trying to rebuild a life that feels permanently fractured. The memories don't stay in the past, and some nights blur into moments where she comes dangerously close to not wanting to stay at all. But she doesn't go through it alone. Olivia Benson has always been there, first as a colleague, then as a steady presence she didn't realise she was leaning on until she had no one else to hold her up. When the panic hits, when the past comes back without warning, and when silence becomes too heavy, Liv is the one who keeps pulling her back. What starts as professional concern becomes something deeper. Something quieter. Something neither of them fully names. Just as her connection with Liv starts to shift into something she can no longer ignore. Because Liv isn't just helping her heal. She might be the reason she chooses to stay.
