"Hi Alex," Olivia smiled slightly.

"Alex?" Christina asked more to herself than anyone else in the room. She'd never heard anyone call Alexandra Cabot anything other than Alexandra or Cabot.

"Liv." Alex stated more than anything. Olivia had grown her hair out a little, but that was the only thing that was different. She looked just like Alex remembered.

"You two know each other?" Christina asked.

Alex stayed quiet, so Olivia spoke up, "You could say that."

Alex shook out of her daze and sat down next to Christina. "Continue."

Christina asked Olivia a series of questions while Alex listened intently. Sometimes she would looked down at her fingers then close her eyes and listen. This didn't go unnoticed by the Detective and even the young ADA.

"Um, I think that's all the questions I have for you Detective," Christina smiled at Olivia.

Olivia smiled back and nodded.

"Where is the previous victim?" Alex asked Olivia.

Olivia looked back at Alex who was finally looking at her. Olivia took a deep breath and quietly stated, "Witness Protection."

Olivia still knew what Alex's reaction would be even after all these years. Alex's jaw clenched just like it used to and Alex slid her glasses off to rub her eyes.

Christina looked confused as she looked from one woman to the other. She decided to break the tension and speak, "The trail phase starts tomorrow at ten."

"I'll be there," Olivia nodded and stood.

Alex slid her glasses back on and stood with Christina. "Could I have a word with you in my office?" Alex looked intently at Olivia.

Olivia just nodded and followed Alex out the door.

Alex held her office door open for Olivia then closed it as she walked in. Alex closed all the blinds looking into her office and then looked at Olivia.

"Why didn't you call me?" Olivia asked, sounding hurt.

Alex crossed her arms, "I actually came to see you, but found that I'd been replaced in more ways that one."

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked, taking off her jacket.

"I mean when I got to your apartment, straight from JFK, I walked up the stairs to find you and Casey practically having sex in the hallway," Alex sat on the edge of her desk in front of Olivia.

Olivia's mouth dropped open. The one night, she decides to have a one night stand with the new ADA, is the one night Alex comes home.

"That was a stupid mistake," Olivia replied quietly looking at her hands, "We both agreed it would never happen again. I'm sorry."

The sincerity in Olivia's voice made tears leap to her eyes. Alex quickly blinked them away and stood up. "There was nothing left of Alex Cabot except for you and the DA's office. When I came back, I figured you'd moved on, so I just threw myself into the job. I got engaged to a man I have no physical attraction to and then broke it off when I couldn't take it anymore."

There was a knock on Alex's door.

She rolled her eyes, "What?!"

The door slowly opened and Jim stepped in, "Garrett wants a deal."

"Who is he?" Alex asked.

"Two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of rape," Jim stated.

"And you think I'd want to make a deal with him? I just talked to you about this." Alex growled, "Give the case to Rossi and you take the drug dealer she's working on."

"But," Jim started, but Alex cut him off with a look. Jim sighed and slammed the door on his way out.

Alex walked around her desk and sunk into her chair, "Um, can we finish this some other time? I-I need to get back to work."

Olivia nodded, "Me too."

"How about tonight?" Alex asked, "My apartment?"

"Where is it?" Olivia stood up.

"It's the same one I had before I left," Alex replied, "I just couldn't let it go."

Olivia nodded.

"Uh, do you still have the key?" Alex asked, standing and rounding the desk to stand in front of Olivia, "I might be late."

Olivia gulped and nodded.

"Just let yourself in if I'm not there yet," Alex put her hand on the doorknob, "Make yourself at home."

Olivia stared at Alex and Alex couldn't break the stare. Olivia reached out and took Alex's hands. She whispered, "I missed you."

"I missed you too," Alex breathed.

Olivia pulled Alex into her arms and Alex wrapped her arms around Olivia's waist, burying her face in Olivia's neck. Olivia rested her head on top of Alex's.

Alex was the first to pull away. She looked visibly shaken. "I'll see you tonight."

Olivia nodded and opened the door. She took one last look at Alex before walking off.

Alex let out a breath and closed the door.

All the ADAs were looking out their windows as Olivia walked out.

"That was tense," Christina told Jessica.

Jessica nodded, "Yeah."

"They've know each other for a while," Christina stated, "In the meeting, though, Cabot looked surprised to see her."

"Maybe they're sleeping together," Brian shrugged, "Maybe that cop is the reason Cabot broke it off with Robert."

"Maybe you're full of shit," Jessica raised an eyebrow, "You're just playing into your fantasies."
