ELLIOT'S POV
Sept. 1, 2016
Olivia Benson,
I took the job in Rome. I'm leaving. I'm leaving for good. I never actually thought I would really leave. I'm going to miss you. More than I do right now. I'm not sure if I should go through with this. It would help out financially, but I don't know if this is what I really want.
You've always wanted to go to Italy. You always wanted to flaunt your Italian. It was always better than mine. It came out smoother and more fluid. I want you to come with me. I want you. I love you. I always have, Olivia. Maybe that's why I left. I don't know why I did. All I know is that I love you and I miss you.
I truly hope you have grown. I know you have. You have always been the bigger person. Not holding grudges, but growing from experiences. I wish I had the same courage. I wish we were somewhere else. Like a parallel universe. In that parallel universe, it will always be you and I. No matter what. In that parallel universe, I would stay. I would tell you the truth. I would have the balls to say what I feel. I love you, Olivia, and I am so unimaginably sorry.
Det. Olivia Benson
