Chapter 12: Tell Her

"You have to tell her."

"Tell her what?"

"That you're the one that called her parents. That you've been talking to her dad for a month."

"No, I don't."

"Yes, Olivia, you do. She's gonna find out eventually and when she does, I wouldn't wanna be you."

"I don't have to tell her tonight, Elliot. She's already had a hell of a day. I don't need to make it worse."

"You better make sure she hears it from you."

"She will."

"She better."

"Elliot, I get it, okay? What I did was wrong. I know. But it's not like I cheated on her or anything. All I did was call her parents to arrange a surprise visit. How was I supposed to know that it would turn out like this?"

"I don't know, Liv."

"Can we just drop it then? I need to finish this paperwork and get home."

"I gotta admit, Liv, it sure is nice to see you excited to get out of here."

"It's nice to have someone waiting at home for me."

"Amen to that."
