If someone had told her years ago that she would have been sitting in a bar having a drink with Captain Ed Tucker, she would have told them they were crazy. Yet here she was, a glass of bourbon in hand, having a drink with the man who had once arrested her for murder. The even crazier thing is that she is having a really good time. Tucker is attentive and kind and handsome. She finds herself enraptured by his piercing blue eyes and his deep baritone voice.

"I never thought that I would one day be having a drink with Captain Ed Tucker" Olivia says making her thoughts known.

"And yet here we are" Tucker replies.

"I should probably be heading out soon though, I have to relieve Lucy"

"Of course, how is Noah?"

Olivia's eyes widen at the sincerity in his voice, he seems interested in her life and interested in her son. Not many men are interested in a single mother in their 40s and yet here Tucker is.

"He is great, he is just getting so big" Olivia says to him.

She checks her watch and shakes her head.

"While I have enjoyed our time together I really should be going." She says.

"Of course, let me walk you home."

Ed pays for their drinks and then helps Olivia into her jacket. As they start their walk to her apartment they are silent. Ed has his hand on the small of her back guiding her down the side walk. They make it to her apartment in what seems like a very short time, shorter than either of them would have liked.

"Well this is me. Thank you for tonight, I had a nice time." Olivia tells him as she tucks a piece of hair behind her ear. She is surprisingly nervous.

"I had a great time with you Olivia, and if it is to your liking I would love to take you out to dinner." Tucker asks her, holding his breath.

"I would like that." Olivia says smiling.

Ed gets closer to Olivia and brushes the hair from her face, holding her cheek in her hand. They stare into each other's eyes for what seems like an eternity. With little hesitation Ed brings his lips down to meet Olivia's. It is soft and sweet and she instantly wants more. She grips the lapels of his coat and pulls him closer. Ed slows the kiss down and kisses her forehead as he backs away from her. Olivia still hasn't opened her eyes, she is in a trance. As she opens them slowly she smiles.

"Good night Tucker."

"Good night Benson"

He watches her as she walks into her apartment building. A big smile on his face. He already cannot wait to see her again.
