Jess Hartley: Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for picking up lunch the other day. It was great getting to know you a little better outside of a workplace environment.
Sonny Carisi: Hi Doc, it's nice to hear from you. I had a great time at lunch the other day. I was thinking dinner? Maybe somewhere away from the food truck outside the hospital this time?
Jess Hartley: Detective Carisi... Are you asking me out on a date?
Sonny Carisi: I'm blushing here!
Sonny Carisi: Picture message attached.
Jess Hartley: You actually are!
Sonny Carisi: So... Me, you, great food.
Jess Hartley: I could go for some great food, could do with some great company too if you think you can provide that.
Sonny Carisi: I should be able to manage that :)
Jess Hartley: Text me your schedule and I'll let you know what works best :)

Amanda Rollins: I heard you had to exhume a body today.
Jen Davis: Fin told me he was sending you the pictures. Is he still giving you a running commentary via text?
Amanda Rollins: 8 kids, 4 mothers, 1 father. That man needed to learn how to use a condom.
Jen Davis: He certainly was 'virile', the weird thing was none of the moms had a bad word to say about him.
Amanda Rollins: Did he know about the other kids? Not that it makes it any less forgivable.
Jen Davis: At least one set, he took his first batch of kids by his actual wife to meet the twins he had by another woman.
Amanda Rollins: What a scumbag. And the wife had no idea?
Jen Davis: Not until we told her.
Amanda Rollins: I bet that went down like a lead balloon.
Jen Davis: The look she gave Dodds, I think she was ready to murder him. Enough about the case, how are you feeling?
Amanda Rollins: Bed rest is exactly what it says on the tin. I feel like I'm going out of my mind just sitting here waiting for this baby to make an appearance.
Jen Davis: You don't have long left now, only a couple of weeks and then baby Rollins will be the newest member of the SVU family.
Amanda Rollins: It can't come quickly enough, I'm telling you if I have to watch anymore reruns of Duck Dynasty I may scream.

Mike Dodds: I miss you.
Daniel Vaughn: I miss you too. Are you ok?
Mike Dodds: Can't a guy just text his boyfriend to let him knows he misses him.
Daniel Vaughn: Yes a certain detective can do that however it is a little unusual. So tell me are you ok?
Mike Dodds: Yea, yea I'm good.
Daniel Vaughn: I can tell when your lying to me, even over text.
Mike Dodds: ... it's just a bad day. There was a case, it didn't end well.
Daniel Vaughn: I'm sorry Mike... I wish I was there to hold you right now.
Mike Dodds: Nah, your doing important work.
Daniel Vaughn: So are you. Listen don't wallow in this, it will drive you crazy. Talk to someone from the team, or your dad, just don't get trapped inside your own head.
Mike Dodds: I gotta go.
Daniel Vaughn: Promise me Mike.
Mike Dodds: I'll try.

Jen Davis: So bed rest seems to be driving Amanda quietly mad.
Sonny Carisi: Not so quietly from the texts I've been getting off her, she's already spoiled last night's game and the latest episode of Heart's Desire for me.
Jen Davis: I don't get how the two of you can watch that show.
Sonny Carisi: Hey, someone's got to be a romantic around here.
Jen Davis: I'll let it slide... For now.
Sonny Carisi: Oh by the way, a few of us are going over to Amanda's after shift. She's been living on take out over the past few days so I'm gonna cook.
Jen Davis: Rain check, but do me a favor and ask Dodds to go along. I think he could do with the respite after everything that's happened today.
Sonny Carisi: Yea, he seems to be taking the case pretty hard. I'll ask him. So do you have somewhere better to be tonight?
Jen Davis: Maybe I just want a quiet night in.
Sonny Carisi: Just so you know I do not believe that for a single second. You never turn down a home cooked meal. He got a name?
Jen Davis: I don't know what your talking about.
Sonny Carisi: I'll let you keep your secret for now but if it starts getting serious, I want the guy's name and social security number.

Mike Dodds: I know that you told Carisi to invite me. Thank you... I needed this.
Jen Davis: Sometimes you just need to get out of your own head. What happened with Lily... She was gone as soon as she climbed into his van. You did the right thing and followed the protocols down to the letter. Sometimes we just don't get lucky.
Mike Dodds: I just feel if I had taken it more seriously...
Jen Davis: That is the learning curve. You think that nobody else has been through something like this? It's a hard lesson to learn but once you've learned it, it makes you a better person, a better cop.
Mike Dodds: I know you're right. Will you be around for nightcap after we've finished up here? I've got a few things I wanna get off my chest.
Jen Davis: Mike... I don't think that's a good idea. You are my Sergeant now and things between us... We work better as colleagues than we ever did as a couple. I'll see you in the morning Sergeant.
Hi guys, thank you for all the adds and subscribes. I really appreciate it!
Amber: I'm so glad you are obsessed with it, it has been amazing writing it.
