I do not own Law and Order: SUV/Organized Crime or any associated characters... If I did it they wouldn't have been over a decade a part.
I ask myself for the thousandth time what I'm actually doing here in his apartment with his family, I thought I had closed him off in a long distant chapter of my past. I did not think I would ever open and reread it. Even if it was my favorite one.
"Elliot, tell us what you need." I say, almost beg with a desperation I have not felt in some time.
"I love you…"
I hear those words and I swear my heart stops a beat because I never actually thought he would ever really say it, especially not right now…I mean I guess I "knew" the truth. It catches me off guard, nonetheless. I cannot help wondering if that is what he wanted. To distract me from the issue if that's the case I can't say it doesn't work. I hate how well he knows me, and how I missed that about him.
And then there was a pause that seemed to last an eternity.
"I love all of you…"
He is going thought a lot, of course. Now so am I. Just like "old times" it seems.
Only he could turn the world upside down…
Somehow, I just knew the moment when I saw him walking towards me again … My life would never be the same again.
