Olivia, there is something I wish to discuss with you' As soon as Olivia entered the squad room the next morning the chief was on her. Was it too much for her to get through one morning without him needing to discuss something with her?

'What is it today chief? I need to get to work".

HI PETER, IT'S OLIVIA. AM JUST CHECKING YOU ARE STILL UP FOR TONIGHT? OLIVIA x

HELLO- I KNOW ITS YOU, I HAVE YOUR NUMBER, AND YES I MOST DEFINITELY AM. 6:30 YES? PETER x

GOOD, AND YES. SEE YOU LATER. OLIVIA x

NOT IF I SEE YOU FIRST. PETER x

'Olivia Benson, what is with that grin on your face? You look like the cat that got the cream'

'Well good morning to you too Fin. And what grin?'

'The one stretching from ear to ear. Now come on spill'

'Spill what?'

'Come on Olivia, tell Uncle Fin all about it'

'Grow up'

'And there is our usual Ms Benson, good mood didn't last very long'

'I'm fine Fin, honestly stop badgering me' Olivia shook her head and opened her office, putting her things in there and making sure she has her badge on.

"So come on, who is he?'

'He?'

'Olivia I know you so I know you must have met someone. Come on, I want to know everything'

'I haven't met anyone, well I have, but…'

'AH!!!!'

'Fin! I am just going for a drink after work, as a way of saying thank you to him'

'Wait, what why what happened?'

"I just met him last night. He stopped me being ran over, and I just want him to know I am grateful'

Fin and Sonny exchanged a glance between themselves. Fin raised his eyebrows knowingly and Olivia saw him do it.

'None of that Fin. Now we must get to work".

'Morning guys, what is wrong with Olivia?' Amanda asks

'She has a date with a man tonight' Sonny said loudly, making sure Olivia could hear him

'I DO NOT HAVE A DATE!' came the bellow from her office.

'Oh it is so a date' Fin said to Sonny

'What have I missed?'

'I'll fill you in Amanda, don't worry'

Olivia hadn't stopped smiling the whole way through her text exchange with Peter. They had a similar sense of humour and there was something about him that Olivia found completely endearing.

She was adamant it wasn't a date, but her friends weren't convinced. Was she?
