"We need to talk."

Olivia and Fitz looked up at Veronica. It was a slow Monday. No work or anything planned. Olivia was trying not to be jealous. She agreed to meet Fitz at Veronica's house.

"My fiance isn't happy with our living arrangement."

"I can move out."

She took a deep breath as if to hold back tears and paused a few seconds before continuing.

"It's more than you living here. He doesn't want me living in a house that you bought. He wants me to give you the house and my car. He says we can't start our marriage with me accepting gifts from another man."

"He wants you to give up your house and car?" Olivia asked.

"We're looking for a house today. I'm moving in his apartment this afternoon."

"Are you happy with this?" Fitz asked.

Veronica smiled and shook her head no taking a deep breath to hold back tears.

"I like my house."

"Then stay here." Olivia said.

"I can't. We told the world we're getting married. I can't keep letting you support me financially and emotionally Fitz."

"Veronica, this house and car are gifts."

"I'm sorry. I can't keep it. We've been arguing every day, and I'm really tired of him complaining. He wants me to come home to him every day."

"He needs to compromise. " Fitz said.

"Are you happy with him?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah I guess so. I just didn't know my life would change so much. I can't go anywhere without someone screaming I love you or wanting a selfie. I don't get it. I'm just a regular person. I've had people ask me to sign their magazines. It's like everyone wants a piece of me."

Olivia laughed, "I love you!"

"Livvie not right now. She's upset."

"Well, my home really is your home now. Goodbye Fitz."

"We're not ending out friendship."

"No, it's changing. I will always be there for you if you're drowning, but I can't keep having this emotional affair with you. It's not fair to Olivia or my fiance."

"I'll miss you."

"You have Olivia now. I'm her biggest fan."

Olivia smiled, she didn't know what to say. She was happy she didn't have to share Fitz anymore and sad that Veronica was giving up her house for her costar. She was mad at him for making her choose, but also happy that Veronica called herself out for the emotional affair.

"Will you be at the Golden Globes?" Olivia asked.

"Absolutely not."

"She's really gone."

Olivia looked over at him unsure of how to react. This was his house now. He looked like a lost puppy.

"You knew you couldn't keep this living arrangement forever."

"She asked me to come to California, and now she's gone."

"Yeah, I'm sure you will miss her singing every morning."

Fitz pulled Olivia into his arms. "This is our home now."

"We don't need two houses in the same city."

"I'm not selling this house."

"Okay, went can make it a rental property."

"I don't want anyone else living here."

Olivia turned her head upward and looked in his eyes.

"Do you love her?"

"Of course. You know that."

Olivia moved away from him. She had been thinking about her own future. Maybe Mellie was right. They were moving really fast.

"I think we should take a break."

"Not again Livvie."

"I want you to go after the woman you love."

"I don't love her like that."

"Yes you do."

"No, you are not leaving me."

"Fitz, I really don't want you to regret our marriage. You need to go get your friend. You need her and she needs you."

"We are not breaking up."

"I've learned a lot about myself in these two months. I was searching for something, and I haven't found it yet."

"What are you saying?"

"We are done."

Olivia leaned on his shoulder and continued watching the movie. She was leaving in a few minutes, and she was going to be single.
