Day 47: Anonymous: "Y'know when you're angry, it's kind of arousing."
Universe: Season 3, "Guilt"
.
"Let me in, Alex," Olivia says, banging on Alex's apartment door. "C'mon, you know I'll just keep knocking on your door all night and I don't think your neighbors would like that."
"I'll call the police," Alex says, her voice muffled by the door.
"I am the police."
"Go home, Olivia."
"No. Not until you tell me what happened with Donnelly."
Alex rips open the door and glares at Olivia. "A month suspension," she says, "unpaid."
Olivia flinches. "You were just doing your job, Alex," she says. "Isn't there something—"
Alex scoffs, pulling Olivia into her apartment by the front of her jacket, and slamming the door behind her. "Don't you get it?" she spits. "There's nothing we can do. I broke the law, Olivia. It's a miracle she didn't fire me on the spot."
Olivia swallows hard, nodding. Looking at Alex's face, a smirk starts to make its way to her lips. "Y'know," she says and Alex can tell just by the look in her eyes that she's about to say something ridiculous, "when you're angry, it's kind of arousing."
Alex wipes at the tears that have begun to form in her eyes and scoffs out a laugh. "You're ridiculous."
Olivia grins crookedly. "It's not the end of the world, Al. You'll be back to work in a month and it'll be like this never happened."
Alex sighs, letting Olivia wrap her up in a tight hug. "Not for Mrs. Cavanaugh."
"No," Olivia says, "not for Mrs. Cavanaugh."
