"I brought the booze and apple cider for you" Harvey said to Allie who opened the door.

"Where's dad and Athena?" Olivia said.
"They went to the store should be back any minute" Allie said as they walked to the kitchen.
"He's really cute" Allie said noticing Olivia's bracelet.
"That bracelet is sick" she exclaimed.
"Yea it was my Christmas gift" Olivia said smiling setting up the food.

"Great he looked me up" Harvey thought.
"Halftime is over Harvey" Charlie said.
"Who's playing" Thomas said following him.
"Knicks and Celtics" Harvey said as Olivia watched.
"Dad isn't interrogating him" Olivia said.

"He's been looking him up since last week" Allie said.
"Are you both finished, the guys must be hungry" Athena said.
"Yes we are" Olivia said smiling, Toula watched as she brought appetizers.
"Do you need help" Harvey asked as Olivia set appetizers on the table.
"No we're fine just enjoy" Olivia said as her and Toula sat on the couch.

"I'm surprised to see Olivia dating, when she was mugged the officer mentioned she called you" Thomas said.
"She did I didn't know she called you Mr. Walsh, that was her choice" Harvey said.
"I see that now, I wasn't happy to know she called everyone else but me," Thomas said.
"Was she hurt, did she look hurt," he asked.
