She closed the file in front of her and tossed it on her desk. She heard her phone vibrate from inside her desk drawer. She knew who it was, but after the week she'd had, she didn't wanna deal with him at the moment. She just wanted to get home, change
/into comfortable clothes, and snuggle on the couch with Noah. Her sweet baby boy. She couldn't believe that was already starting pre-k. Her heart broke that morning when she dropped him off and she could hear him call out to her as she walked
sound of her phone vibrating, again, brought her back from her thoughts. She sighed and took it out.

Ed... Edward Tucker. She was so lucky to have him in both her and Noah's life. He'd been a total surprise. She was so used to the no nonsense, rough around the edges Tucker, that when he showed his softer side, it took her by surprise. Just how he has
/surprised her when he brought up Paris. It had been a wonderful two weeks with just him and Noah. No responsibilities, but just like every good thing, it came to an end. She was right back at work the following morning after landing, trying to keep
/her mind off Dodds. She couldn't. Everywhere she looked, his photo was plastered, magazines, news papers, the news. It took a toll, not just personally, work wise and with Ed. She'd become over protective of her squad, and they all respected her
for
/it, knowing she had to cope. But at the same time, she had been pushing Ed away, getting irritated when he kept checking up on her. She knew he meant well, but she just couldn't take it anymore, not after Chief Dodds blamed her for Mike's death.
She shook the thought out of her mind and replied.
Rain check. Just want to spend the night with Noah.
-Liv
She looked up into the bullpen and saw that it was almost empty, except for a couple of detectives working OT and a few officers. She gathered her things and headed out, her phone vibrating in her pocket as she stepped into the elevator.
Ok... kiss Noah goodnight for me.
-Ed
She put her phone in her purse as the doors opened. She decided to walk home, stopping on the way to get dinner. She hated pushing him away, but she just needed breathing space. She just needed to be alone for a while. Just her and Noah.
