Three weeks later

It's mid-morning on a Friday, and Olivia is at her desk in her office smiling at the most beautiful tulips she's ever seen. She gets up and walks over to the flowers, taking in their scent one more time, as she re-reads the card. "Thinking of you."

She's not sure if the beauty of the flowers has her smiling more, or if it's the thought of the sender, that has her giggling like a school girl. Despite it being a rough few weeks for her and Fitz personally, and professionally. These flowers, and their night last night seem to be making up for it in spades.

A knock on the door breaks her from her thoughts, she turns toward the door as she says, "Come in." The door opens and Margo, her assistant comes in. "Morning Liv. I see you got your flowers." Olivia smiles as she replies, "Yeah. Thanks for putting them on my desk Margo."

Margo grins as she responds, "You're welcome. Oh, Detective Roberts says he will be sending you a text soon regarding the new findings in the English case, and Officer Baker will be available for your 1:30 meeting with Paul."

Olivia has a seat as she says, "Good. Don't forget I am leaving early today okay?" Margo responds, "Yes, I remember. I've already rescheduled your meeting with Cheryl for Monday afternoon." Olivia smiles as she says, thanks Margo. You rock." Margo smiles as she replies, "You're very welcome boss."

As she prepares to close the door, Abby walks up behind her, and Margo almost jumps out of her skin. Olivia is looking down at a paper on her desk when she hears, "Hel, Hello Judge Whelan." Olivia smiles hearing her assistant stammer, and she bails her out as she says, "It's fine Margo, come on in Abby."

Abby walks in smiling, as she closes the door behind her making her way over to the couch opposing Olivia's desk. As she has a seat, Olivia sits back in her chair smiling as she says, "I need you to stop scaring the life out of my staff, by showing up at my office in your robe."

Abby relaxes on the couch, and laughs as she looks down at her attire. She didn't realize she still had her robe on until now. Olivia shakes her head, seeing her realization. Abby responds, "Well, I wouldn't have to do things like this if my best friend wouldn't be holding out on me."

Olivia coyly asks, "Whatever do you mean?" Abby smiles as she says. "Judging by that bouquet of your favorite flowers, sitting at the corner of your desk. You know exactly what I mean. What happened between you two last night?"

Olivia grins as she responds, "Abby, it really was perfect. Perfect and sweet in every way." Abby sees the glow on her face, and says, "Spill it Livy." Olivia laughs at her friend's excitement, and she begins to explain how things went from challenging to back on track in the last few weeks. She starts by saying, "Girl, I am still trying to settle with the details of all the craziness that led us to this point."

Abby responds, "I bet. I surely didn't see this thing with Karan and her ex-boyfriend going to this level." Olivia says, "Tell me about it. Initially, we couldn't spend much time together because of our work schedules, then of course he started spending more time with her, while she was in therapy down here."

Abby nods as she says, "Yeah, she had a lot to contend with for sure. It was sweet for Fitz to be so supportive, and great you were so understanding Liv." Olivia nods as she says, "What else could I do Abs? I know what it's like to need your brother, and Karan definitely needed Fitz to be there for her."

Abby agrees as she says, "That's true. I just can't believe she went home and then things became so out of control." Olivia responds, "I know, I still can't believe it myself. But I understand why Fitz and his family reacted the way they did." Abby nods as she says, "Agreed. Jason deserved everything he got."

They both fall into thought about the events that unfolded once Karan returned to Ohio. She really did make great strides in therapy, and had decided to go back to Cleveland, to settle things with Jason. So she could move on. Initially, everything was going well. She found a new apartment, but they were obligated on their lease for three more months.

At first, Karan was going to try to maintain the living arrangement until her new place was ready. But things became more strained between she and Jason, because he wanted to resume their relationship. But she didn't. The situation had become too difficult for Karan, and Timmy decided to step in to ensure his sister was okay.

After he intervened, things were better at the apartment between Karan and Jason for a while. But then one day, on a hunch, Timmy came over unannounced, and heard screaming from the hall.

He banged on the door, until they opened it, and Timmy told Karan to get her things. He basically moved her out right then, and dared Jason to object. Jason being the punk that he is, left the apartment, and Karen left with Timmy. She officially moved back in with her parents the next day.

For a few days, things seemed to be better. Karan had decided to stay with her parents in her old room until her new place would be ready. A few days later all hell broke loose though, because Jason showed up at Karen's job, and she called security.

He later showed up at her parent's house angry, because she wouldn't talk to him. When he realized she wasn't coming outside, he tried to kick in the door, and he threw a brick through the plate glass window in the living room. However, he didn't count on Jerry, Fitz's father having a gun and being ready to protect his daughter and wife.

So when he was attempting to climb through the window, he got quite the surprise. Fitz's father met him with a double barrel shot gun, and he begged Jason to step inside. But he didn't, he froze. Luckily Karan had called the police and they arrived in time to prevent things from going terribly wrong. Jason was arrested for trespassing, menacing, and criminal mischief. They also found drugs in his car, as well as in his system. So, he'll be going away for a while.

They slip back into the moment, as Abby says, "Liv that was unreal." Olivia replies, "I agree, and it was too much for Fitz to fathom from so far away. That's why I encouraged him to go be with his family. Especially when Jason accused Fitz's brother of planting the drugs in his car."
