Chapter 3-Explainations
Don: Olivia I…I'm sorry.
Olivia: Don't!
Don: Please. Let me…
Olivia: Explain! Ha! I'd like to here this one!
Don: Your mother and I dated for a year before you were born. When she told me she said that we would be better off apart and that you would be better off not knowing.
Olivia: Better off!
Don: I know I can't tell you how sorry I am.
Olivia: You're sorry! All this time and nothing! Now all you can say is that you're sorry! Damn it Don! Or should I start calling you DAD!
With that she storms off and Elliot chases after her. They go home and Olivia plops on the couch and rolls herself into a ball. She starts to cry and Elliot goes over to her and wraps his arms around her.
Elliot: I love you.
Olivia: I love you too. I'm sorry about everything.
Elliot: No, it is ok.
Olivia: Don is my father. (Putting her face in her hands in and shaking her head in disbelief)
Elliot: (Sighs) I can't believe it either. Why didn't he say anything for so long?
Olivia: He said I would have been better off. Well screw him! How is living with an abusive, drunken mother and never even knowing my father being better off!
Elliot: I know Olivia. I know.
He kisses her forehead and holds her close.
Elliot: Now you know the truth. That is what matters right now.
Olivia: I don't know…
Elliot: About what?
Olivia: About everything. I just wanted to know because I wanted to have my father walk me down the isle at our wedding. Now I…I'm not even sure about all of that.
Elliot: The wedding?
Olivia: I'm sorry Elliot. I don't know. Everything is just so confusing right now.
She leaves and goes to take a walk in Central Park to clear her mind.
