Don't own anyone :( Sucks Bugs Bunnies.
Thanks to all who read and review.:) Love you guys.
Chapter 7-Dinner with Auntie Mary.
Casey walked into the restaurant and sat down across from Mary. "Auntie Mary." She greeted her with a smile.
"Evening Casmira." Mary said, "Wet out there? Should've bought an umbrella."
Casey laughed as she patted her hair down. "Yeah. Bucketing down. So what are you going to have tonight?"
"Fillet Mignon as usual. How about you?"
"I was thinking perhaps a pasta dish."
"Wise choice. So Casey. Relationship troubles I hear."
Casey looked at Mary, stunned, "How did you know?"
"You told me. I ran into Olivia today also. She tells me a very similar story."
Casey was curious, "What did she say?"
"Nothing which is of interest to you."
Casey looked pleadingly at her aunt who just smiled and bent down to pick up her handbag. "Oh Casey. You're not five anymore. You can stop whinging and whining like a toddler."
Casey's face turned red as she muttered "Sorry Aunt Mary."
"That's okay. Wine?"
"Sure. So what do you think I should do?"
"About what?" Mary teased.
Casey rolled her eyes, "About my relationship worries."
"You really want to know?"
"Yes."
"Sure?"
"Yes! Just tell me!"
Mary breathed in slowly. "I believe you should just give up."
Casey was confused. "What the hell? Just give up?"
"Yes. Take sometime alone. Figure out what you want. Figure out who you want."
Casey was amazed. She had never thought of that before. It might be good. Figure out what she wanted, not just out of relationships, but out of life as well. Start writing again. Spend some time by herself. The more she was thinking about it, the better it looked.
"You know what. You're right. I might do that."
"Good, good."
"Brinnnnnnnnng, Brinnnnnnnng, If we catch a criminal, when we catch a criminal, there's nothing we can do, except play cops and robbers, cops and robbers."
Mary looked at her niece "Phone."
Casey took it out of her bag and answered. "Novak?"
"It's Stabler. We need you down at the precinct. Need a warrant."
"Yeah, warrant. Sure thing. Be there in five."
She turned to her Aunt. "Listen. I'm sorry but I gotta go. Bye." She threw some money on the table and ran out of the restaurant.
