Liv sat there deep in thought, trying to figure out the latest case. It was one of those cases that the killer had thought of everything. Condom, acid, gloves, everything. Suddenly a movement caught liv's eye. It was Elliot. He got up from his chair and looked over at her. She smiled pensively, still drowned in her musings. " you ready to go?" He said, watching her. " uh yeah, just let me log out.
The drive home was quiet. Liv sat there again deep in thought. Elliot was worried about her, the only thing she seemed to care about anymore was work. Of course it's okay for work to be your life, or what makes you happy, but for liv it was literally her life, and it was starting to get in the way of their relationship. It surprised him when suddenly she opened her mouth. " El?" "what baby" " I have an appointment this weekend, will you take me while my cars being fixed?"
" of course"
Of course, he'd expected it to maybe be some sort of normal life talk, like how was your day? Or guess what happened?. But no, just an appointment. They walked in the house and the silence of the place was almost overwhelming. Liv went into the bedroom to take a shower, as elliot ordered chinese over the phone.
They sat there eating their meal quietly, just like every night. The only words spoken were the simple "hand me a napkin" and "thanks" They went into the bedroom, fairly early. Elliot went into reading his book, and Liv finished her work on her laptop. After an hour or so, Liv simply said "night" and turned over.
Something had to change, he thought. This was every night now, barely speaking, almost acting bored with the relationship. He knew something had to change, he just didn't know what.
