ELLIOT'S POV

Mar. 19, 2020

Olivia Benson

I got word that you made Captain. I was asked to say a few words in your honor. I don't know if you know yet. I don't know what I am going to say. Kathy doesn't want me to go back. She says that it will pull me back into my circle of self-sabotage. I believe that I need to do this. For you. More for me. I always think about what is best for me.

What am I going to say? I haven't seen you in over 10 years. Am I going to harp on our partnership? About how you have always been stronger than me? About how you have always been a better person than me?

I love you, Olivia. I need you to know.
