Olivia had gotten out of the hospital a week after what had happened. Devin Westfall had been sentenced to 25 to life in prison, luckily for the team. Olivia was doing a lot better, considering what had happened. She and Elliot had become closer, but he still didn't know that she had heard his comment. The team was going out for dinner tonight, as a gift to Olivia.

They went to a small Italian place. They talked and had a great time. Elliot and Olivia were the last ones there. They sat in silence for a bit, reflecting, before Olivia got the courage to pipe up:

"Did you mean it?"

"Mean what?" He asked, cocking his head slightly.

"What you said while I was in the hospital. That you love me," she replied.

He looked down.

"You heard that?" He asked.

Olivia nodded, and noticed his embarrassment.

"What if I told you," she said. "That I love you too?"

He turned around, surprised.

"Really?" He asked.

"No," Olivia replied sarcastically. "I'm joking."

Elliot smiled, and pulled her into a huge hug. She smiled and pulled back a little before smashing her lips into his. They smiled, before Elliot pulled back and brought her hand into his before they walked out of the restaurant together, wearing identical smiles.
