Day 14: The smell of lavender was overpowering.
.
Somewhere in season 4.
.
Alex learns the hard way that there is nothing but truth to Murphy's Law.
Her terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day starts when she slips in the shower and receives a bruise that covers her hip.
On the way in to work, she trips and spills scalding coffee on her white shirt.
The heel of her shoe breaks on her way to court…
Which results in her tardiness to a bail hearing and Petrovsky is forced to grant bail to a guy that definitely doesn't deserve it.
She misses lunch with Olivia because Trevor Langan has decided to drown in her motions.
When she finally gets to leave the office, the sky decides to open up and downpour on her so she is soaking wet when she gets home.
And then, to top it all off, she falls asleep on the couch while she is waiting for the tub to fill and ends up flooding the bathroom.
Olivia gest home and is instantly greeted by the overwhelming smell of Alex's lavender bath oil. "Al," she calls, hanging up her jacket, "you home?"
"Bedroom," Alex calls back.
Olivia slips off her boots and walks to the bathroom, smiling to herself. She looks in the room and sees Alex lying on the bed completely clothed, which is the exact opposite of what she was expecting. "Rough day?"
Alex opens her eyes and glances in Olivia's direction. "You could say that."
"Did you get to take your bath?"
"No," Alex says, sitting up. "No, I didn't. But I did get to bruise my hip, spill my coffee on my favorite shirt, break my favorite shoe, set a murderer free, miss lunch, freeze, and flood the bathroom."
Olivia laughs and sits on the bed. "I love you," she says, leaning over to kiss Alex. "Tomorrow will be better."
Alex laughs mirthlessly and falls back onto the bed. "I'm not getting out of bed tomorrow if it begins anything like today did."
"Can I kiss you and make it better?"
"You can try."
Olivia leans down while Alex pushes herself up. The resulting collision happens with a loud thwack. Alex can already tell there's going to be a bruise on her forehead.
