Olivia has never been as happy about something as she was about this day. It was her wedding day and everything was perfect. She and Mellie had decided on a small wedding, with only the people that really cared about them and supported their love. They would probably do a bigger ceremony and invite all the powerful people in the world later, after all Mellie was the President of the USA, but today it was all about the two of them and their love for each other.

They had decided to do the ceremony in a really cute and small venue not far from D.C. The place looked magic. The tables and chairs had a light blue tissue in it, the table arrangement was a miniature of the two women kissing, on the altar there was an arch where they would be under and the place was full of lilies, Mellie's favorite flowers. All the guests were already there, they had only invited their families and some close friends, not more than 50 people. Quinn was Mellie's maid of honor and Huck was Liv's. (Yes, she knew he was a man, but he was so supportive of them and her best friend, so none of them cared.)

Olivia was already there too, she was wearing a white lacy dress, her hair was up, and she was barely using make up. All very simple, as the two of them has decided. The only person that wasn't there was Mellie, and Olivia was kind of worried about it. She had called her soon-to-be wife a couple of times, but she didn't answered. The last time they spoke, more than an hour ago, Mellie said she was in her way to the wedding, but it didn't take that long to get there.

At the same time that she picked her phone to call Mellie again, a man entered the place, it was one of Mellie's securities and he had a serious face on. It made Olivia feel sick to her stomach. Her gut was telling her that something was really wrong.

"Ms. Pope, we are sorry to informe, but there was an accident. Mellie's car on her way here was crashed. The driver died immediately. The president got seriously injuries too, but is alive. She is in surgery right now. The securities that were with her are fine." Olivia couldn't even hear what the man was saying after he said the word "accident". She was crying so much, the love of her life was dying. The day that was supposed to be the happiest of their life could be the worst.

Olivia asked what hospital Mellie was taken and immediately ran there. She didn't have time and patience to inform the guests, so Huck, who was close to her and hear the conversation informed them. First, he told Quinn to go to the hospital with Liv, she probably was too shaken up to drive.

The hospital was far from the venue. Of course they took the president to the best hospital in the city, not the closest. Also, for some reason the trafic was bottled. So in the way there, that for Liv was taking forever, she start thinking about her story with Mellie.

The first thing that came to Liv's mind wasn't the first time they've met in Fitz's campaign, it was one random time after the two of them had broken up with him. She was working at Mellie's presidential campaign and she remember thinking about how crazy it was that they've known each other for so long but didn't really knew each other.

Could she blame Mellie? Olivia was her husband's mistresses for quite a while. It was more than normal in this sexist world for them to hate one another forever. That was one of the reasons she had accepted to work in Mellie's campaign: the feeling that the soon-to-be president had let go of their past. Of course it was for a greater good: politics, but it was also a chance to know the woman that had always intrigued her.

Melody Margaret Grant was a piece of work. She was the strongest and smartest women Olivia knew, a political animal, addicted to power and iced inside. Or that was what she let people think.

They were at Liv's living room drinking wine after a hard day of work. The numbers were not good for Mellie, Susan was winning and would probably be the republican candidate. Both women were upset, they knew Susan was good, but Mellie was better.

There was a moment of silence and then Olivia asked: "Why did you choose me?"

"Chose you for what?" she could not understand what Olivia was talking about.

"For running your campaign. After all I did to you."

"Because you are good. You are the best at what you do. I thought that if you could manage to put that incompetent husband of mine there, you could put me." Before Liv could say anything, Mellie added "Why did you accept?"

"For the same reason. You are also good; I believe you will make a great president." But she didn't sound convincing.

"Are you sure it was just it?" Mellie asked, getting really close to Liv. They could feel each other breath.

Olivia was ready to say yes, even knowing it was a lie, but could not think straight having those big and bright blue eyes so close to her. Then she decided to tell the truth.

"No, it wasn't the only reason. I also wanted to get to know you better"

"And why is that, Liv?" Mellie said with a whisper.

"You know why."
