Olivia was standing in a spacious empty kitchen. She didn't know what she was expecting, but she felt like she didn't belong in his house. Fitz didn't even know she was downstairs. His car was there, so she knew he was home. There were two options. Wait downstairs or go look for him upstairs. She decided to climb the stairs. One door was open a crack, and Olivia knew he was in there. The smell of citrus and cedarwood filled the sitting area. She took a few more steps, and she could see him sitting in bed with the remote flipping through the channels. He didn't notice her until she spoke.

"Hi."

"Hello."

"It smells really good in here."

"Are you going to stand there all night?"

"No, I have to leave in a few minutes. I promised Mila I would cook dinner."

Fitz smiled and dropped the remote. "Give me your phone."

"Why?"

"Give it to me."

Olivia took the phone out of her purse and tossed it to him. Fitz looked through her contacts for Mila. He put the phone on speaker. He had to turn the volume down when she answered. There was loud music in the background.

"Hello? Are you okay?"

Mila yelled to be heard over the music. Fitz smirked at Olivia. She looked away from him.

"Hi, it's Fitz."

"Is my mom okay?"

"Yeah, she's fine. Are you okay cooking dinner for yourself tonight."

"What dinner? I'm waiting for my pizza."

"Where are you?"

"I'm skating. It's really loud in here. Can I call you back in a few hours?"

"Olivia is staying with me tonight. Are you okay with that?"

"Yeah, sure whatever. I have to go! It's really loud."

"Goodbye Mila."

"Wow, she has a lot of energy."

"Yeah, she does."

"I bet there's never a boring day at your house."

"I'm thinking about starting over. I want a baby again."

"Okay, do you want to get artificially inseminated, or do you want to get pregnant the old fashioned way?"

Olivia laughed and he smiled. He was making progress. "You can get pregnant without sex. You do want a sexless marriage, right?"

"Are you okay with that?"

"I'm okay with a few months or maybe a year. At some point, we need sex."

"I missed you."

"Come here."

Olivia looked around for somewhere to put her coat. Fitz pointed to the closet. He wanted her to move in with him. She still seemed nervous, and he didn't want to make her leave again. He wasn't expecting her to move into his room anytime soon. He could settle for her being in his home for now.

"You didn't bring an overnight bag?"

"I only planned to stay a few hours."

"I want you to stay with me. You can have your own space."

"Wow. Thanks. I don't know about that. I like my house."

"Give it to Mila."

Olivia laughed, "You want me to give my home to Mila. I know she would like that. Wild parties every weekend. No. I will consider gifting it to her as a present when she finishes her graduate degree. My teenage freshman is not getting that luxury."

"It's only a house."

"A very nice house. Absolutely not."

"Okay, you can keep your house. I still want you here every day."

"What do you want right now?"

"Some great sex after tasting my wife."

Olivia laughed, "I'm sure you do."

"I don't want you to leave me again."

"Is Karen here?"

"No. She has her own apartment."

"I'm helping Mila find an apartment tomorrow. She hates the dormitory."

"She can afford it."

"I've been very busy. I had to show Mila how to choose a new doctor and dentist since she doesn't have a pediatrician anymore. She also needed to know how to balance a checkbook."

"Why do you use Mila as a distraction?"

"What?"

"You don't work anymore, so your child is your distraction."

"Being a mom and working is all I know. I don't have interesting hobbies or friends."

"You should work on that. You need an identity outside of your job and Mila. I want us to have a very interesting marriage."

"If you can have one thing right now besides sex, what would it be?"

"Anything?"

"Yes."

"I want you to take off your clothes and let me hold you."

Olivia blushed, this was very awkward but she could do that. "Okay."

"We can leave together in the morning. I'll help you pack and move your clothes into your new room here."

Olivia slipped out of everything and settled next to him. He smelled so good. He chose a romantic comedy and they laughed together a few times. Half an hour later, he was laughing alone. Olivia's eyes were closed.

"Goodnight Livvie."

He gently moved her under the blanket and turned off the lamp on his nightstand. He wanted to end every day like this.
