Accused
"Alex."
The ADA could tell instantly that something was wrong with the woman at the other end of the phone "What's wrong Liv?"
"I'm being accused of murder."
Wearing
"What am I supposed to be wearing to this banquet thing?" Olivia asked, dread lacing her voice.
"First of all it's a fundraiser and seconding of all, you could go naked for all I care, you look good in anything."
"I'm sure your parents will love that." Olivia deadpanned
Respond
"Detective Benson?"
Olivia turned around "Right here, how can I help you?"
"Dante Cole, Witness Protection."
"WitSec?" Olivia asked, refusing to accept the possibility "What's WitSec doing in New york City?"
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this but Emily Smith was killed yesterday."
"I don't think I know her." Olivia said, shaking her head
"She was also known as Alexandra Cabot."
Olivia didn't know how to respond.
Hair
Alex loved Olivia's hair. More specifically she loved to run her hands through the short locks when doing, well, doing more explicit activities.
Precaution
"This is stupid." Olivia muttered
"So is playing bait with a serial killer with a hard on for you." Elliot replied
"Would you fight these precautions so hard if it was Alex in trouble?"
Swear
"I swear" Alex muttered, slipping her phone back into her desk drawer "that woman will be the death of me."
Seventh
Olivia cursed, tipping her king down and groaning as Alex gloated "That was the seventh time in a row, are you up for round eight?"
Location
"How's the house hunting going?" Elliot asked as he saw Olivia and Alex scrolling through listings.
"Don't ask." Olivia muttered.
"Trouble in paradise?"
"There's only one thing we can't agree on." Alex said "Location."
Teacher
"If you weren't a lawyer what would you be?" Olivia asked, breaking the silence.
Alex considered for a moment "A teacher."
Gossip
Alex felt the stares, heard the mutters but she ignored the gossip. Instead focusing on just getting to her office and shutting them all out.
Enjoyment
"Go home." Cragen said
"And do what?" Olivia asked "We have a case."
"Sleep." He suggested "Or something else you do for enjoyment. " he continued, indicating with a raised eyebrow the presence of a certain ADA.
Aged
It was winter in New York City, snow turned to slush covered the streets, Christmas lights dotted the buildings and houses. Two aged women, holding hands and just enjoying each others company milled amongst the hordes of holiday shoppers "You know" the darker haired said to her companion "we did it."
"I know." The blond replied
"We grew old together."
Dark
She hadn't been in a place this dark since she the day Alex 'died, the first time. But now here she was again and this time Alex wasn't coming back.
Umbrella
It was raining, just like the weatherman hadn't predicted that morning. This left Alex walking home in the downpour without an umbrella. Until suddenly she stopped feeling the drops, turning around she saw a familiar face "You look a little wet." Olivia offered, smiling.
Safely
"I don't care what you do" Alex said to Elliot "just get Olivia back safely."
Cheap
Alex didn't care that the wine was cheap, the fact that she was sitting in Olivia's apartment for the first time in three years was all she needed.
Falling
It felt like she was falling, the pain radiating from somewhere just below her shoulder. And as she fell, all she wanted was to see the crystal blue eyes one last time.
Count
"No" a tiny voice protested from somewhere by Alex's waist "Auntie Alex you have to count to one hundred. Or else I wont be able to hide."
Map
"It official" Alex said "we're lost."
"This coming from the woman who didn't want to buy a map." Olivia replied
Hidden
Olivia had a problem, a serious problem.
She held the small black box in her hand, the small box that held their future together. The only problem was that she needed to keep it hidden and she had no where to hide it.
Suffer
"We'll-we'll pull the plug." Olivia said, her voice shaking "She, she wouldn't want to suffer."
Mess
Alex looked down at the floor, frowning at the mess at her feet. Having a puppy was a lot more work than she anticipated.
Do
"Do you, Alexandra Cabot, take Olivia Benson to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
Blue met brown.
"I do." She said, smiling broadly.
Arrive
Alex tapped her foot, she hated waiting but it would be worth it, or that's what she promised herself as she waited in the arrivals terminal of the airport. She was waiting for her parents to arrive, it was time to meet the family.
Believe
Olivia shook her head, once again resuming her pacing around precinct. She had to believe that they would get Alex back alive, she had to.
