Olivia slowly pulled out into traffic. It was grey today, and her mood went right along with it. She was reluctant to go see Warner, but she decided to suck it up. Melinda brought back so many unwanted memories. She was unaware of the tears sliding down her face. She was unaware as her body set itself on autopilot and her mind wandered off to the depths of her memories.
FLASHBACK
It was overcast. Olivia could tell her partner was angry. He was straining not to show it, and pulled off pretty well to an average person. But she knew better. She also resisted asking him about it. Maybe she didn't want to know. She sighed as she gazed out the window at all the people who were lucky enough not to have to deal with the stuff she and her partner saw every day.
"It's my own fault." His words jarred her from her thoughts. "I wasn't the best father. I wasn't the best husband. I was never there. All my life, I was determined not to become my father. But I look up, BAM," Elliot slammed his hand against the dashboard, "I've turned into him anyway."
It hurts Olivia to see Elliot in so much pain, but she didn't want to feel like she wasinterfering with his life again. She felt so bad about no being able to help.
The next Oliva knew, she was pulling back from his lips. She was in shock. Perhaps she was dreaming.
"Did you just kiss me?" Elliot asked, not sounding completely sorry. His question confirmed her suspecsion. She hadn't meant to, but didn't entirely regret it either.
"Liv?"
"I think I did. Sorry, Elliot," she sighed, thinking she had just ruined the friendship they had just regained.
"I'm not." She turned slowly to look at Elliot. She was really in shock now. Did he say what she thought he said? Had he caught on to her staring at him while he work? Had he caught the jealous tone she took when their victims smiled at him, when their female preps battered eyelashes? Fin had always told her she was wasting her energy being jealous, that he didn't want them.
She stole a glance at Elliot to see him grinning as her leaned over toward her...
Flashback ends
Now Olivia was in tears. She remembered how good it felt and how bad it hurt to remember. She wanted more than anything to relive that moment. That moment when she felt was it was like to be wanted, to be loved, and to want and love back. She wanted that feeling but knew it was impossible.
