This takes place during or after Conviction but before Lead (the exact timing is open for interpretation). It's just another A/O angsty drabble. Enjoy!
She slept with him to punish herself. The further her life spiralled out of control, the easier it was to justify who she wasn't with. She was with Jim, with Robert, with a million other men who would remain nameless, faceless. She slept with them because they weren't Olivia. Olivia was who she wanted, who she needed, but Alex always wanted what she couldn't have. She couldn't have Olivia. She knew the two of them could never be. So she slept with these men, just because she knew they could never satisfy her. And honestly, she didn't want them to.
So was it okay? If you liked it, review!
