Chapter 26: New Home
"Benson."
"I found it, Liv."
"Alex? Found what?"
"303 East 57th Street apartment 27AL."
"I thought you wanted to buy a house."
"I did."
"Why'd you change your mind?"
"This place is safer than any house we could ever find."
"Oh yeah?"
"Mhm. It has a doorman, a twenty-four hour garage, and the laundry is in the building."
"What else does it have? I know you didn't choose it for the garage and in-building laundry."
"You know me well, Detective Benson. It has a balcony off our living room, a den, an office, a gym, a swimming pool, a roof deck, and pets are allowed."
"A den?"
"A den. You can have your flat screen in there."
"And an office for you. How many bedrooms and how many bathrooms?"
"Two bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and the den can double as a bedroom."
"Did you already buy this place, Alex?"
"Maybe."
"C'mon, Alex."
"I did, Liv, but it's perfect. You don't understand."
"When can we move in?"
"This weekend…if you want to."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Wow. Okay. Um…I'll see if I can get the guys to help."
"We can hire movers, Liv."
"No."
"Why not?"
"I want to do this."
"You want to pack boxes into a van, drive the van to our new place, unpack the boxes from the van, and then move said boxes to the twentieth floor?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I…I don't know. I just want to."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Yes. We'll do this your way, Liv, but we're christening the apartment my way."
"I'm perfectly fine with that."
"No objections?"
"None."
"Good. See you at home, Liv. Love you."
"Love you too."

Note 2: I'm reposting this chapter because, instead of working on my finals, I did some research for this story (I'm not even sorry) and I found the perfect apartment for Alex and Olivia. So that's what this came from. That's why you're getting a new chapter.
