So thank you to Rachel (juniperbreze) for showing us that deleted scene on youtube! I decided to make a story out of it,don't know if its one shot, or what. Hope you like it!
The detective handed her the package and she dismissed him with a smile and a thanks.
Curious, she sat down on her desk, opened it, and pulled out a small piece of paper. It was folded, and opening it she saw a badge with the number and three words.
Three words that changed everything.
Three words that suddenly gave her hope that he was coming back.
Next to it she recognized the badge, the number. How could she not recognize it? It was the same number she had tattooed in small numbers on her hip. The numbers that she associated with him. Elliot.
She read the words again.
Semper Fi.
El.
Always faithful.
She felt the familiar burn in her eyes, and mumbling excuses left the area quickly the paper clutched in her fist.
When she was in the bathroom and had made sure no one was there, she broke down. Crying, smiling, laughing.
Always faithful! Does that mean he was coming back? Does that mean she could see him again? She held the paper close to her heart and sent a silent thanks to God.
After a long day of hard work at another case, and tolerating the new detectives, she went home still smiling.
What she didn't expect when she arrived was to see a single white rose on the floor in front of her door. Picking it up, she saw it had no card but knew who it was from. Feeling totally happy, and right again, she opened the door and dropped the rose.
In the middle of her living room, looking healthy and happy, was Elliot.
He held out another white rose "Hey Olivia. I know I'm late, but i need to say three things. One i'm not leaving again. Two I missed you and three" He paused here.
"Whats the third thing?" She asked breathlessly, unable to understand that he was standing in her apartment like he never left for seven months. Like she hasn't seen him since that horrible day. Or haven't heard from him expect for a brief two minute call a month later after his news of leaving.
He smiled, his eyes brilliantly blue. "I love you."
Awwwwwwwww! Wish that could happen, right? Well heres to hoping!
