Summary: Now that I'm sitting here, thinking it
through, I've never been anywhere cold as you...

belongs to Taylor Swift. The show belongs to Dick Wolf and Co.
You have a way of coming easily to me..."Hey."
Casey turned around to see Elliot standing in the doorway.
"Hey,
what are you doing here?" She asked, wrapping her arms around him.
He pulled her closer to him, stroking her long, strawberry blond
hair.
"I was worried about you." He said softly. "I know
the Morgan case got to you pretty bad."
Casey nodded. "I don't
want to talk about the case right now, though."
"Well, that
makes two of us." he kissed the top of her head. "So, how about
we go get something to eat, go back to your apartment, and figure out
what to do from there. How does that sound?"
"Like heaven."
She kissed him softly on the lips and, as the kiss deepened, the only
thought Casey had in her head was that she was falling in love with
Elliot Stabler.And when you take, you take the very
best of me...Casey walked into the squad room, just in
time to see Elliot lean in and kiss his ex-wife. It wasn't a kiss
between two people that had fallen out of love, there was plenty of
love and passion behind that kiss. Tears welled up in her eyes and
she ran out of the squad room, nearly knocking Olivia over in the
process.
She walked into the ladies' room, mascara running down
her face with her tears. She heard the door open and she grabbed a
paper towel and got it wet, trying to wipe away the little black
rivers that ran down her face.
"Case, I'm so sorry." It was
Olivia.
"What for?" Casey asked, trying to sound nonchalant
but failing miserably.
"Case, I know about you and Elliot. I saw
them in the squad room." Olivia offered a sympathetic smile. "You
wanna talk about it?"
A sob escaped Casey's lips. "I love him
and I thought he loved me too but-" She put her hands over her face
and sobbed quietly. She was vaguely aware of Olivia pulling her into
a hug.
"It'll be okay."So I start a fight
'cause I need to feel something..."Casey, where are
you going?" Elliot asked her as she walked past him.
"Why the
hell do you care?" She spat.
"Because I-"
"Don't say
it! Don't you even fucking say it, Elliot!" She cried. "Don't you
even fucking try to tell me you care about me! I saw you and your
ex-wife together. You looked pretty damn happy. So go back to your
perfect wife, and your perfect family and leave me the hell
alone!"
"Fine." He said, turning around and walking
away.And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you
wanted...Casey tried her best to smile at the happy
couple before her. Elliot and Kathy were getting married again and,
of course, the whole squad had to be there. She'd tried to get out of
it, but Kathy asked her specifically and what the hell was she
supposed to say? I'm sorry but I 'm in love with your husband so I
really don't think I should go. Yeah, that would go over well. So she
smiled as they cut the cake, trying her best not to let her tears
show.
"Thanks for coming." Elliot said after the first dance.
"It means a lot to me."
"No problem." She lied.
