Chapter 2

Thanks for all of the positive comments back! I wasn't expecting that at all and again thank you for taking the time for reading and reviewing. Now here's chapter two. Yes, some of you might be disappointed but don't worry there will be a reunion!

*This is also re uploaded and I hope anyone who has started to read this. Know I am truly sorry I did not realize what I had done. This chapter is when Olivia and Kathy are both having a conversation. Elliot is not in this chapter!

"Olivia, wait! Please turn around I would like to talk to you before you leave. Knowing once you leave you will not come back around." Kathy pleaded.

"Look Kathy I would love to stay around and chat with you but I really have to get back to work." I did not know what else to come up for an excuse. I sure did not want to have this conversation with her right now. It is still quite early in the morning and I have not had my coffee yet.

"Olivia, please it will only take fifteen minutes of your time, if that." Kathy look as if she were about to start begging if I did not give into her.

"I give you ten minutes then I am out of here whether you said everything or not. Got me?" What could ten minutes due to me since.

"Let's go set on the porch. I don't want my children hearing what I have to say to you." After I took my cell phone out of my car I turn back to Kathy and followed her onto her porch. There's this white swing on the left side where she thought it would be easier to have the conversation.

"I would ask you how you are doing if this is you were here for a normal visit but as it is you are here and I need to let you know of some changes. Since Elliot resign from the force him and I decided it was time for a divorce. You have to know we both agreed on it and every since the divorce we have been amicable. There has not been any fighting going on and the kids are enjoying this as well." Kathy looked at me in the eyes as if she were telling one of her best friends about this new arrangement.

"Honestly Kathy, I do not care about what is going on between you and Elliot. I am glad the two of decided to get the divorce and you are in a better place with your relationship. But, I don't want to hear anything about this. What goes on between you and him does not involve me anymore. It may have involved me back when Elliott and I were working but since then it don't." I started to get off the swing but Kathy lightly pulled on my arm letting me know she was not done talking.

"Olivia, whether you like to hear it or not but this have everything to do with you. I know it has taken two years to even know anything that is going on with our family but you deserve to know what you are willing to hear. As, I can see Elliot is a tough subject for you. Meaning you either were or are in love with him. I am hoping you have not given up on him yet. He does love you but he needed to get his head in the right place before he saw you again. I know this is a lot for you to take in but I really need to finish what I am saying to you before you go off back living your life." Kathy look down at the two yellow plants that are sitting near her front door. Then back at me as if asking if it is alright for her to continue on talking to me.

"Kathy, I will hear what I want but like I have told you before I have given ten minutes of my time and it is ticking away. If I were you I would go ahead and continue before you either lose your nerve or I walk away from this conversation." I told her without even daring to look in her eyes.

"Alright, right now Elliot is in Florida. I am telling you this because I want you to know plus if you feel like you want to pop him a visit then you can. He has been going to therapy, the children see him when they go down or when he flies up on his weekends with them. If you don't see him then I should let you know he is due to come here next weekend to see his children. I feel like you two need to clear the air but if you don't then I suppose that its fine even thou you both are not fine." Kathy went on explaining.

What I find funny is after all this time of not seeing her or her family and she decides to let me know everything that is going on. I feel like she felt obligated to let me know about everything that is going on.

I do the one thing she is probably hoping I will do and I take myself out of the conversation without saying one word to her and head back to my car. I now want it to be a week ago where the case never happened and I never ran into Kathleen at the park. If I did not run into her then Kathy would not have told me about everything that has happen to her family.

Once I pulled out of the Stabler driveway I head to the one place I know I will be able to forget everything that has took place tonight.
