Disclaimer: I don't own Alex, Olivia, or anything related to either of them. That honor belongs to Dick Wolf.

Yet another A/O drabble (getting tired of them yet?). Enjoy!

Alex gets home with a deadened look in those bottomless blue eyes I love so much. I know she's seen something she wishes she hasn't. I know this is going to be one of those nights.

She comes into the living room where I'm watching television and she's here, but she's not here. Physically, she's standing right in front of me, but mentally, she's miles away. Her baby blues are glazed over and she's staring at something only she can see.

She curls up on my lap and wraps my arms around her. "Hold me," she says, and I do.

Review if you liked this one!
