Around noon there was a new case for SVU.
„I'm going to drive to the hospital now. Rollins, you're coming with me.", Sergeant Benson announced. Amanda wondered why Olivia choose her to join her. Normally the older woman would avoid working with her. Amanda knew that Liv prefered Fin and Carisi over her. She had hoped to be able to relax a bit while Olivia was gone for the case. Amanda felt so exhausted.
„Fin and Carisi are also free.", she reminded her boss in hopes she would take one oft he men with her.
Olivia gave her a surprised look. „Right. But I said you were going with me. Or is there any problem with that?" Amanda hated when Liv was obviously annoyed by her.
„No, there is no problem.", she said quickly and followed her boss to the elevators. None of them said anything for a while.
Only when they were driving towards the hospital Olivia started talking again:„Is it because of me? Do you mind working with me?"
Amanda's heartbeat increased and she felt herself blushing.
„No, Sergeant."
Liv gave her a look. Her brown eyes always got to the blonde. They could be full of love and compassion or filled with annoyance and when looking at her something, Amanda felt, was almost resembling hatred.
„You sure?", Olivia asked again. Amanda nodded.
During the questioning of their latest victim Olivias eyes were filled with sympathy again. She was always doing so great with victims. Amanda was watching from the corner of the room how Liv slowly got the girl to open up to her.
At some point the kid started crying and Olivia carefully embraced her while mumbling soothing words. Tears were burning inside of Amanda's eyes as she longed so desperately fort hat kind of comfort from her boss. She wished that she would be the one wrapped up in Olivia's arms.
I really have to get myself together, Amanda thought.
