I would really be ecstatic about reviews, you know?

Elliot looked up from her lunch to see Heather sitting opposite her.

She blinked.

"Hello Elliot."

"Hi Heather."

"Yesterday you didn't talk to me anymore. What did I do? If you have a problem with me tell me how to repair it."

Elliot couldn't believe her friend didn't see what her problem was. "What you did? How about the fact that you sleep with Cox? My boss? And that I … know more about that then I'm willing to admit."

Heather waited a moment. She knew exactly what she was doing. For her plan to work she needed Elliot seeing her as just her old friend, not the old friend responsible for Elliot and Cox having sex.

Her tone was quite. "Elliot, you told me you didn't want to talk about the other night, I respected that. I apologized to you for picking him even after I couldn't have known who he was. After I presented the idea of going after the guy you made it clear you didn't have a problem with it. So tell me Elliot, what did I do to you?"

Elliot looked down on her lunch. When the other woman formulated it like that it made her feel real shitty.

She couldn't admit to her friend the real problem she had. The fact, that she enjoyed this night too much.

Never before had she felt so open and free. As if… she was completely safe because nobody would dare to interrupt Cox and expect to live. And because she could stop to think and just enjoy. She didn't need to be in control with him. She could just let him control her.

She had no idea before how relaxing that could be.

"Nothing, Heather. I just… you came here to have time with me and we don't do anything together because you are always busy with Cox."

"If you want we could do something together today. I know I have a date with Perry, but he has to work long and we could go out for a while and talk about everything. Who did what from the old clique, just like old times. What do you say?"

Elliot smiled automatically. A nice evening with her old friend, even if it would be a bit short. "Yes, I would really enjoy that."

Heather knew this was the moment she had waited for, she just had to wait and manipulate her friend very carefully in the direction she wanted.

They would go out together, Heather would soften Elliot up and in the end the blonde physician would land in her hotel room with her and Perry.

Everything would go as she had planned.
