'TO PARTNERS'

When she toasted the partners, he felt a pang of anxiety in his heart. What was she trying to tell him? After making it clear that Fin and Phoebe were partners and are now together, was she giving the green light that they too might have a future? He wanted to ask, but Elliot knows that after being gone for 10 years, he needs to be patient with Olivia, needs to take short steps and take her time, so he saves the thought and toasts to his partners.

'' TIME FOR THE BOUQUET'' Phoebe yells, and slowly the single guests gather around her, Rollins realizes that Olivia hasnt moved and goes over to her:

-Hey Liv, aren't you coming? Maybe luck is on your side?

Elliot looks at Olivia and smiles, taking another sip of his wine.

-Oh, well, uh ... I, I don't know ... I think I'll leave it to the younger women (he says running his thumb across his forehead)

-Come on Liv, you'll never get old and it's just a bouquet!

Rollins doesn't give her a chance to respond or back down, taking Olivia's hands and dragging her to the spot where Phoebe will toss the flowers. Elliot joins Fin to continue watching the scene, he greets him congratulating him for not getting married and Fin asks:

-Hey man, how are things between you?

Elliot runs his hands over his forehead, he knows he still has a way to go, DAMN, it's been 10 years away. He takes a deep breath and responds:

-Well, she hasn't kicked my ass yet! So, I think we are on the right path. I left her, I know it and I'm bearing the consequences. I won't give up and I won't leave her again, I couldn't bear to leave her again.

Fin looks at his long-time friend, nods in agreement, and they are interrupted by a countdown:

5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Phoebe tosses the bouquet and the scene passes through everyone's eyes in slow motion, Rollins holds his hands up and takes a little jump, Kat takes a big jump and smiles, and Olivia just She holds out her hands, imagining that she would never be the one to get the bouquet. Fin stares at Elliot and notices the expression that forms on his face, he is suddenly smiling from ear to ear, Fin follows his gaze and notices that Olivia has taken the bouquet and is looking at him with a shy smile. Rollins soon interrupts the scene saying:

-I told you captain! Luck is on your side.

All the guests are looking at Olivia and smiling, Liv feels an overwhelming feeling, she never liked being the center of attention, she gives a polite smile, hugs Phoebe and walks towards Elliot again, He straightens his posture when he notices her walking up to him, he takes a glass of wine from her, holds it out and says:

"I think we should toast the fact that the specials unit captain took the bouquet tonight, when she wasn't even so excited to join the game," he says with a slight smile and blue eyes, an ocean that makes your legs feel weak. She has always felt it in her legs since the first day she met him. She smiles and says:

-Well, Rollins says that luck is on my side, and if luck is on my side I'm not going to send her away.

She takes the glass, toasts and takes a sip of her wine. Fin congratulates Olivia for taking the bouquet and heads towards Phoebe leaving Elliot and Olivia alone again.

-Are beautiful!

-They're peonies. she answers

-Your favourites!

She gives him a smile and notices that couples are getting together on the dance floor. Elliot puts a wineglass on the table, takes her wineglass and bouquet and puts them on the table, she looks at him with a confused look meaningless what is he doing when he asks the question:

-Do you want to dance with me? - He holds out his hand waiting for her to accept. She looks at him, wondering if this is a good idea, they never did, she never imagined being at Fin's non-wedding, dancing with Elliot Stabler, someone she thought she'd never see again, but here she is, reaching out. trying at least once in your life to do what your heart wants. They walk to the dance floor and Olivia can see the eyes on them, she was the captain, she knew this would happen, she tried not to mind enjoying the moment.

Elliot places his hands on his hips and Olivia places her hands on his broad shoulders. Both can feel the electricity coming out of them with a simple touch, the music starts playing, they start swaying. Elliot pulls Olivia closer, needing more contact, she doesn't hesitate, which is a good sign and leans her cheek against his shoulder, they just stand there, enjoying each other, in silence, it feels like time has stopped. Elliot starts talking:

-I missed you so much!

Olivia sighs and remains silent

-I know, I know that... Liv me, I'm just sorry. Getting away from you was the hardest thing I've ever done.

She feels a shiver going from head to toe, Elliot was never one to express feelings like that, being so honest about what he felt was not something common, for her neither.

-Elliot! She warns him, but he can't give up now, they need it, here, in each other's arms, breathing each other, in this close contact, to the sound of slow music. She needs to know that what he feels is real, that it has always been there.

-Olivia... - he pulls her even closer, hugging her as they dance, he has his nose in her hair, smelling her scent - That day, at the intervention...

Olivia immediately interrupts him, she pulls away only to be able to look him in the eye:

-Elliot, you were having a panic attack! I know, I know you didn't mean...

-I meant it Olivia! I meant. It might not have been the right time, in front of my kids who lost their mom, but Liv, I mean. It's what I feel, what I've always felt.

-El...

-I love you! I've always loved you -Olivia is surprised at how easily he says this and keeps her eyes fixed on him - Liv, I know I made a lot of mistakes and dammit, I wish I could erase them but I can't, what I can do is get it right from here. And I want to get it right.

Olivia hugs him, resting her cheek on his shoulder again and finally says,

-I also want you to do El... I want too.

That's all she can say for the moment, and he's pleased with it, slowly the wall Olivia built to protect herself is coming down. He hugs her tighter and knows that for now, that's it! They keep dancing, lightly, swaying and making up for the little 10 years of separation. The music ends and they walk towards the deck, people are starting to say their goodbyes and Olivia wants to go home, relieve Lucy who is taking care of Noah tonight, she says goodbye to Fin, Phoebe and their entire squad. When she goes to say goodbye to Elliot he asks:

-I, uh... Can I take you home? - Olivia watches him carefully -

-I'll ask for a taxi, it's okay.

-Please, I insist Liv. I can take you.

Olivia reluctantly accepts the ride, she knows how stubborn Elliot can be and she's too tired to fight now, and well, the night was very nice, she missed him, as much as she still didn't admit it to him, she did . They are walking towards Elliot's car when Olivia notices something strange, she looks around, captain's instinct, but sees nothing. The parking lot at the place is kind of dark, with little lighting, she looks at Elliot who realizes how restless Olivia is:

-Liv, if you really don't feel comfortable with it, you can take a taxi. I understand, I won't be upset.

-No, no... It's not that, I just felt the strange sensation of being watched, it must be silly – Elliot looks around and doesn't see anything. With only a few steps to reach the car Olivia feels something around her waist and at the same time an arm around her neck, she stops in place and shivers.

-Is she the other Elliot woman? – Elliot immediately looks back recognizing the woman's voice.

-Angela, don't do this! Don't be stupid... Let her go now!

Olivia stands still, already being in this situation more than once, she tries to remain calm as she stares at Elliot. Angela has a gun pointed at Olivia, has gone from her waist to her head now, the look Angela gives Elliot is one of anger, about to do something she'll probably regret later.

Elliot needs to think quickly of a strategy, he has lost his wife and cannot lose the true love of his life.
