I'd poke at Liv for the speed dating thing if I didn't know
That it was for work, and to find someone that we were looking for.
As it is, it was for work, and the thought that this idiot actually thought
That he'd get away with coming after her, well…
Apparently, he doesn't know as much as he thought he did,
'Cause Fin and I were right there.
Liv can take care of herself, but even she admits sometimes she needs backup.
I've seen her invested in cases, just like I have been.
Nothing new, considering our line of work.
But there are some that we push, because we can, and honestly,
This guy really is an idiot, thinking he can control her, 'cause
People like that can be talked into anything, and sure enough, Liv gets a testimony,
But the next thing we know, everything's getting shot to hell,
After all, nothing's ever that easy.
The others give me hell sometimes, because of my opinions on marriage, and
I might be legally separated now (whatever that means), but it doesn't matter.
I still have the same opinions, and if I could get away with it, I'd smack this guy,
Marrying his girlfriend only to shut her up, because
Everyone knows about the spousal privilege thing, and if she's his wife, she can't talk,
And he knows it.
That smug look on his face tells me and Liv both that he does.
Doubt he'd have married her otherwise.
Now that she's on a feeding tube, he wants it off, and it makes me wonder.
Lot of things have been doing that lately.
Couldn't live like that myself, but that's just me, and this guy, well,
He's only in it for what he can get out of it,
Not because he cares, and I don't think he should get his way,
But if the wishes are made clear, then that's the way it is.
I do poke at Liv later, when it's done, and she pokes back at me.
Can't live like that, she says, and I nod, and ask if I should write it down.
She shakes her head, and informs me that since I'm the only one she's ever had
A 'serious relationship' with, no one's gonna doubt me. I tell her not to be sure,
That Munch or Fin might fight me on it, 'cause they care about her as much as I do,
But she shakes her head again, and laughs, before telling me that we're going for drinks,
And for once, I don't fight her on it.
