A/N: Thanks to everyone for reading & thanks for reviewing!

Olivia was sitting at her desk; she wondered why Elliot was so late but then remembered how upset she was with him. She started replaying their argument in her head wondering what had caused it to escalate the way it had. Olivia was getting angrier as she kept going over what had happened, she looked up and saw Finn approaching her.

"Hey Liv, where's your partner this morning?"

"I don't know and I really don't care, I'm not his keeper" Olivia snapped.

"Whoa, I can see someone isn't happy with their partner today, what did he do now?"

"Nothing" Olivia didn't feel like explaining what happened to Finn, hell, she didn't even know what exactly had happened between them last night.

"Oh, Sure I believe that" Finn muttered

Olivia just shot him a look.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say" Finn said walking back to his desk.

The last thing Olivia wanted was to talk about Elliot. She was glad he wasn't there, or that's what she told herself. Deep down she was concerned, he was never late, had something bad happened to him?

Elliot opened his eyes, his head was pounding, he looked over and saw the empty bottle of whiskey next to his bed. He stumbled out of bed, and into the kitchen. He turned on the coffee pot and went to take a quick shower, somewhat hoping it would make him feel better. He got out of the shower and looked at the clock, he was late. He hurried to get ready and get to work. Not wanting to think about how things would be with Olivia when he got there.

Despite being angry with him, she still cared about him, he was her best friend, or he had been before he had started acting distant and moody. She would never want anything bad to happen to him.

Her mind started to race, she was just starting to worry about him, when he walked into the squad room. She instantly became infuriated with herself for being worried for no reason when she was supposed to be angry with him.

Elliot walked over to his desk glancing over towards Munch & Finn.

"You look like hell" Munch said to Elliot.

"Yeah, you get hit by a bus or something" Finn joked.

Elliot just glared at them, angrily.

"Apparently Olivia isn't the only one who woke up on the wrong side of the bed today" Finn said to Munch

Munch looked at Finn, "Lovers Quarrel, I'm guessing" he joked shaking his head.

Elliot and Olivia both ignored Munch's comment.

Olivia glanced up at her partner briefly as he sat down, making sure he didn't notice. He did look awful, he had dark circles under his eyes, he hadn't shaved, and he just looked… lost, she thought to herself. She shook this from her mind; she was supposed to be upset with him, not being concerned about his physical appearance.

Elliot sat down at his desk, he wanted to say something to Olivia, but he didn't know what to say, and he didn't feel doing it in front of everyone in the squad room. Olivia hadn't even looked up from what she was doing to look at him. He sat there, staring down at his desk, he hadn't been able to stop thinking about his fight with Liv, why would he take his anger out on her when she was only trying to help. He looked up at Olivia

"Hey Liv, do you think we could talk abou-"

"There's nothing to talk about" Olivia interrupted in a cold tone.

"Liv, come on you know I didn't -"

"I think you made yourself pretty clear last night" she interrupted again.

"Damn it, will you stop cutting me of and let me finish a sentence" Elliot snapped.

"I'm sorry" Olivia said sarcastically, "Last time I checked you didn't want to talk to me, I'm just giving you what you want"

"Come on Liv, you kn-"

Just then Elliot's phone rang.

"Stabler….Okay, We'll be right there"

"Let's go, we've got a case" Elliot said to Olivia.

Olivia got up and followed Elliot into the elevator.
