Olivia answered her phone while sitting at her desk in the squad room trying to figure out when things would slow down. SVU had been busy since 7am that morning working on cases from incest to a five yr old being raped by her seventeen yr old brother. Olivia was tired and ready to go home. As she hung up the phone, Elliot walked in and asked what was going on? Olivia said, "Well CSU will be getting back to us in the morning and everything else is done." Elliot said, "Well let's go home and get some rest." Olivia got up and Fin asked, "Where are you two going?" Elliot replied, "Home there is nothing else for us to do." Fin said, "Ok I guess I'll head out when I finish my paper work." Elliot and Olivia waved bye then walked to the elevators. They stood in silence until the elevator opened and they got on. Elliot pushed the ground floor and asked, "Do you want to get something to eat?" Olivia said, "Sure, we'll take it back to my place and rethink this case." Elliot said, "That's the last thing I want to do, I'm tired, hungry, and dreading going home to see Kathy." Olivia asked why and Elliot responded, "Because she is such a bitch." "She expects me to just stop what I'm doing and come to her beck and call." Olivia said, "Well El, she is your wife you know." Elliot shrugged then replied, "Yeah and I really wish she wasn't."

They got to the bottom floor, got in the car, and Olivia called the Hong Kong restaurant and ordered them some food before going to her apartment. They stopped, picked it up, and headed to Olivia's place. Olivia opened the door and told Elliot to put the food on the counter. Olivia walked into her room and felt Elliot's eyes searing through her as she walked away. Elliot asked her what she had to drink.

Olivia replied, "Nothing, sorry, I forgot about drinks."

Elliot said, "I'm headed to the convenient store, do you want anything in particular?"

Olivia shouted back no before she heard the door close. She was glad Elliot had left so she could have a clear thought for once. She knew that the feelings she had for Elliot were real and wanted to act on them, but could not. Olivia knew that Elliot was married and she wasn't about to be the reason his marriage ended. Olivia shook her head and thought to herself, "Am I going crazy, stop fantasizing over him." She changed into some sweatpants and a big long-sleeve t-shirt and returned to the kitchen to start fixing the food. After she fixed their plates, there was a knock at the door and Olivia knew it was Elliot.

He walked in and said, "I got a bottle of red wine, I need something to help me take the edge off."

Olivia said, "Good choice, I need it too."

Elliot opened the bottle and poured them both a glass as Olivia took the plates to the couch. She waited for Elliot to sit down with the drinks before she chowed down on her food.

Elliot looked at her cautiously and said, "Slow down sweetie, there will be plenty left."

Olivia started laughing and almost choked on her food. Olivia looked at Elliot and asked, "El, what's the deal with you and Kathy? Elliot looked down at his food then up at Olivia and said, "It's over between us, we have nothing left." "Our relationship slowly started going downhill when my job required more of me and less at home."

Olivia shook her head in understanding and wondered was that the only reason he and Kathy weren't working.

Elliot said, "Honestly, I am glad we are over because I want to start persuading someone who loves me unconditionally and who doesn't mind my job, as well as the people I work with."

Olivia dropped her eyes then and hoped he was talking about her. When Elliot didn't get a response, he grabbed Olivia's chin and lifted her head to look into her beautiful brown eyes. Olivia looked at him and turned away when their eyes lingered too long. Olivia feed herself and stared off into space while Elliot drank his wine in silence. Both wishing they knew what the other was thinking, but only time would tell.

Elliot got up from the couch and fixed him another glass of wine, which made it his forth glass. Olivia asked him how much was he going to drink and Elliot replied, "Who knows, right now I just want to drink all my problems away." Olivia looked at her weird as he returned to the couch and told him that he could sleep on her couch instead of trying to drive home. Elliot thanked her with his eyes and she nodded in response. Olivia got up and took their plates to the kitchen, where she sat them in the sink to wash in the morning. It was twelve o'clock and Olivia was wore out. She went to her room to retrieve a blanket and a pillow for Elliot to use. When Olivia returned she saw Elliot undressing and her heart fell to her feet as she seen how ripped he was and how his but was so firm that you could bounce a quarter off of it. Olivia quickly cleared her throat and Elliot turned around with only his boxers on.

Olivia said, "Here you go and if you need me, just let me know."

Elliot said, "Thanks Liv, I don't know what I would do without you."

Olivia said, "Me either, but I will always be here for you."

Elliot told her good night and she said night as she closed her door. Elliot lay on Benson's couch wondering if the partner of nine years was worth losing his career over. He tossed and turned thinking of all the questions that pondered his mind about his partner who was only a couple of feet away.
