"I'm ready."
"I can see that."
"I'm ready to get married."
"You're serious?"
"We can be in the office before lunch if we go to justice of the peace right now."
Fitz laughed, "You really are spontaneous."
"I want to get married before I start my new job with Marcus Walker."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want you to worry about losing me."
"I know you're not going to leave me for your friend."
"That's what you say. I know you Fitz. You're jealous and afraid."
"I don't want to rush if you're not ready."
"I'm ready. We don't need a formal ceremony."
"I missed you at work."
"That's how I know you need this right now. We are together every day after work, and you still missed me in the office. You can't convince me that you won't be an emotional wreck every weekend I'm working with another man. I want to give you peace of mind."
Fitz turned around. He didn't want Olivia to read him. Of course he was ready, but he didn't want this to be the reason. Last month, he spent every minute outside of the office with Olivia. He was slightly jealous of Marcus. He was more afraid of Olivia being away from him. What if there was another medical emergency and he wasn't there? He couldn't make her stay close if she wanted to work with Marcus. He could only hope she would be okay. Fitz had to ask.
"Are you sure you're ready for more work?"
"I haven't worked in a full month. I'll be okay Fitz."
"I want you to call me if you have any pain."
"Okay, are we getting married today?"
"I can wait a few months. I want you to have your summer wedding in the park. I know you want pictures of the sun and flowers in your wedding dress. You need those pictures on your bookshelf."
Olivia smiled, "I like that."
