Roses and Apologies

Munch was the first one to notice when Olivia walked into the bullpen. She had a box of doughnuts and a smile on her face that was clearly hiding something.

"Ah, what have I done to deserve this?" He beamed.

"Well, I was walking past the doughnut shop on my way over, and I figured that you guys deserve it after staying late to pick up my slack yesterday." She answered as she held the box out so Munch could take a treat before placing the box next to the coffee maker.

"A woman after my own heart." He smiled as he took one. "Robert is a lucky man."

His comment just made Olivia smile awkwardly, but she hid it.

"Hey, who brought doughnuts?" Fin asked as he walked in and spotted the box of confections.

"That would be our dear Olivia." Munch said through a mouth full of food.

"Lovely Munch. It's a mystery why you're not still married." Fin commented before picking his doughnut from the box. He held it up to Olivia and added, "This is why you're my favorite."

Olivia just smiled, and went back to work as Much faked hurt to his partner's earlier comment.

"I think I need to bring food in here more often." She smiled as Elliot walked in.

"Did I hear food?" He asked.

"Near the coffee pot." Olivia smirked as she pointed tothe box with her pen without looking up form her desk.

Elliot joined the group and grabbed his own breakfast before taking his seat across from his partner.

"So, how was the date?" Munch asked suddenly.

"Uh, it was fine." Olivia said caught off guard.

"Just fine? You were talking about those tickets all week!" Fin huffed.

"Yeah, well the orchestra was really nice." Olivia answered swinging her hair out of place a little when she looked up from her paper work.

The slight movement of her hair allowed Elliot to see the slightest hint of purple around her eye.

'What is that?' He thought. Olivia quickly caught him staring at her.

"Something wrong?" She asked.

"What happened?" He asked. He wasn't going to, but hey, she brought it up.

"What are you talking about?" She asked, playing dumb.

"Your face." Elliot answered bluntly. He knew that she knew what he meant. Everyone was now looking at Olivia.

"Oh, it's nothing. Really." She answered, trying to laugh it off.

"That doesn't look like nothing." Fin said, now inspecting her face from his seat.

"Really, it's nothing. I'm fine." Olivia pushed. As she brushed her bang back and for the first time revealing the bruise over her eye completely.

"What the hell happened to you Benson?" Cragen asked entering the bull pen. He had arrived uncharacteristically late due to traffic. He was a little shocked when he saw Olivia's face.

"Nothing." She said, now frustrated with all the questions. "Look, Rob got really plastered last night, and he got into a fight with some jackass at the bar." She began.

"And how did you end up with the shiner?" Cragen asked, examining it.

"Rob wound up to take a punch, and I tried to stop him, like an idiot." She explained. "When he pulled back, his elbow slammed me in the eye." She said with a laugh. "I'm fine guys, really." She assured them.

Before anyone else could bother her, a messenger knocked on the door.

"Is there an Olivia here?" He asked.

"That be me." Olivia said, standing to greet the man.

He held up a bouquet of white roses. "You're boyfriend either really loves you, or did something very bad." He smiled.

"Yeah, thanks." Olivia said under her breath as she accepted the delivery and placed it on her desk. She opened the card and read it to herself.

"Liv,

I am so sorry about last night

I was so drunk.

I never meant to hurt you.

Call me baby.

Love,

Rob"

"He's sorry about the elbow." Olivia explained taking her seat again.

Elliot really wanted to believe her, but for some reason, he just couldn't.

TBC...
