After he leaves she arms the alarm and goes to the office; where she sees he has her pillow set up for her again, as well as bottled waters and an ice pack. She smiles as she sits down and gets comfortable, and ready to work.

The morning blows by rather quickly; she talks with Bella first thing, to confirm the last of the jury selection today to round out the alternate pool. And she makes sure they're ready for trial in the case. During their conversation, Brad eludes to a possibility of a plea coming in from the defense. And Olivia agrees for them to keep their options open; it never ceases to amaze her how quickly cases can change on a dime. One minute you're picking a jury, and the next you're discussing a plea and the case is never heard in court.

After their conversation, with the help of her assistant Margo. She meets with her staff via skype to touch base with them about open cases. She can tell by many of the responses she receives, they're impressed that she's up to snuff on all of their current case files. While in truth, it's a benefit to having access to work files remotely. But still impressive nonetheless. She fields questions about her return to work date, and work questions in general to everyone's satisfaction. Before ending the call, she's told she'll be receiving a get well basket from the office. The thought makes her smile, and she thanks them in advance of her receiving it. It feels good to know her staff cares about her.

After the call, she realizes how late in the morning it is. Knowing Abby will be dropping by soon; she does the plan work up for the soft ball team as promised, and she emails the information to Casey and her brother.

Surprisingly, shortly after sending the email she gets a phone call from her brother. She answers as she says, "You couldn't have read the email that fast." He responds, "What email?" She replies, "The one I just sent about the game this weekend." He responds, "Oh. No I haven't checked my email yet. But I will. Thanks for putting that together for us; it's much appreciated." She smiles as she says, "Of course. It's not a problem. What are you up to?"

He replies, "I'm driving back to my office; just leaving court during my lunch break." She nods as she says, "Ah, the Dwyer case, right?" He replies, "Yes. Your hard ass ADA Rollins is to blame for that." She smiles as she says, "I know you didn't call me to whine about an ADA H. And besides that, she's justified in her stance. You know cutting a deal is in his best interest."

He smiles as he says, "I should've known you were up to speed on the happenings of this. Never mind." She chuckles and he laughs with her as he says, "Good to hear you laughing sis. How are you doing one day removed from the drama yesterday?"

She takes a breath and says, "I'm doing well. I honestly haven't talked about it since yesterday. Fitz tried to discuss it, but I just don't want to think about it. Is that weird?" He replies, "No. But it's not the healthiest way to deal with it either." She sighs as she says, "I know. I just needed a break from it, you know? I felt like I was being pulled back in time, and I don't want to go back there."

Understanding his sister's response, but wanting to encourage her. He says, "I get it sis. But you're not the same person now you were then, and you have an even stronger support system today, than you had back then. So there's no danger in you slipping backwards. We won't let you fall."

She appreciates her brother's supportive words, and says, "Thanks H." He replies, "You're welcome. Just promise me that you will talk to one of us, if you feel like you need to. Even if it's just venting, okay?"

She nods as she says, "I will. I promise. I just think I have to wrap my head around everything first, before I can really talk about what or how I'm feeling about it." He responds, "That's understandable. I just want to make sure you're okay sis." She smiles as she teasingly says, "Awe, you like me."

He laughs as he says, "Maybe a little." They laugh together, and as he pulls up at his office. He says, "Okay sis. I am walking into the office. So I will talk to you later. Tell my wife I said hello; she'll be arriving soon." She responds, "I will. Take care. Love you." He replies, "You too. Love you back."

She smiles as her call ends; appreciating her brother's concern for her, and replaying his words in her head. She takes a breath, and after standing up she realizes she has to go to the rest room. The 4 bottles of water she's consumed, have finally caught up with her.

After using the facilities she returns to the office, and begins to thumb through her email. She then comes across Huck's email to her. She looks at it, but doesn't click on it; because she simply can't bring herself to do it. Saved by the bell she sees the key pad light up, and the monitor show Vanessa letting Abby in.

Grateful for the distraction, and now sitting on the couch with her foot elevated, and a new ice pack on her ankle. Olivia looks at the door and sees her bestie walk in. When she steps into the room Abby says, "Hello there my lady. I have ice cream!"

Olivia smiles as she says, "Ice cream. What happened to food?" She replies, "Oh I have that too. But I'm in the mood for ice cream before I eat real food. Are you in?" Olivia smiles as she says, "Sure, why not?" Abby walks over to her, and she suddenly says, "Hey Abs, are you okay with sitting outside on the deck?" Abby nods as she says, "Yeah that's cool. It's a beautiful day out." Olivia stands as she responds, "Good. Let's go."

As Abby follows her out to the deck, they both hear the doorbell. Seconds later Vanessa brings out a gift basket sent from Olivia's office. It's a gorgeous edible arrangement that makes her smile. Abby says, "Wow boss lady. You're loved." Olivia smiles as she says, "Yeah, I guess I am."

They chuckle, and after reading the card Olivia asks Vanessa to put it in the refrigerator. Once they get situated at the picnic table together; Olivia delves between her turkey burger and kale chips, and her turtle sundae. While Abby chows down on her banana split, and eyes her chicken salad she's going to consume when she's done with her sundae.

Despite thoroughly enjoying her food, and seeing her friend is happily eating too. Abby can't shake the feeling that something is off with her. She's too quiet. So Abby asks, "Are you okay Livy?" She replies, "Yes." But keeps eating, as if nothing is wrong.

After consuming her last bite of ice cream and a chunk of banana; Abby says, "Really? Just a one word answer is all I get?" Olivia looks at her as she swallows the last of her kale chips, and she sips her iced tea. Abby knows she's stalling, and politely gives her the give it up look.
