Hey gorgeous, hope you're head is okay this morning- Simon is feeling sorry for himself (even more so than usual.) xxxx

Hey yourself! My head is okay thanks. I wasn't the one drinking loads. I should think he is feeling sorry for himself. What on earth possessed him to challenge Fin to a game of shot draughts? He's never lost a game and I don't think he plans to start any time soon. Xxxx

He is a heavy drinker and I thought he would beat him too if I was being honest xxxx Ah Peter, you disappoint me xxx What on earth can you mean Olivia Benson? Xxxx I thought you knew how to pick a winner- not back the loser xxxx

Hey!! Don't let Simon hear you say that. I back my friends, but in this essence Fin proved more than a match for him! Xxxx

I knew the two of them would hit it off.

You've changed everything. I've never felt like this about anyone as quickly as I fell for you. In fact I've never loved anyone. After my stepdad I was too scared to get close to anyone, but now I have you I'm finally living again. It sounds stupid but you've brought me back to life Olivia- in every instance. I am winning every day, because I have you… xxxx

Oh, Peter, you are going to make me cry. That is so lovely… I'm going to be in no state to work today. Xxxx

You do it already Olivia, you are saving my life every day. And with my birthday in the not so distant future, I think this may be a reason to celebrate. Xxxx

Wait, it's your birthday? When? Xxxx

Next week. I normally hate it, because it reminds me of my birthday when my stepdad moved in- he was the worst birthday present I've ever had…. But somehow I think this year could be different xxxx

It will be, I'll make sure it's a birthday to remember. Well at least one that you don't want to bury away. I will do my best to make you happy Peter. I love you lots, you know that right? Xxxx

You may have mentioned it once or twice Olivia, you don't have to prove anything to me. Having you with me is enough of a present. That's all I want for my birthday- you. Xxxx

You've got me already. Peter it's your birthday, I have to get you something special. Xxxx

I don't need anything Olivia, all I need is you, I promise. Xxx

Peter you have me, I am not going anywhere, but its your birthday. What day next week? Xxx

Thursday? Xxx

Okay, I don't have long to get something organised. Leave it with me… xxxx

Hey Olivia, how you feeling this morning?' Fin suddenly appeared in the staff room, looking rather well kept for someone who had been up until the early hours battling a stubborn man in Shot Draughts.

'I'm fine- I should be asking hows your head? Apparently Simon is feeling rather sorry for himself this morning'

'And so he should be, but pass on my commiserations on his losses against me last night, although he was a rather exciting opponent. I take it you've spoken to Peter then. How is he?'

'Bearing up quite well actually. He's in reasonably good spirits. Where's Sonny?'

'The wuss phoned in sick this morning. Can't handle his booze this morning. Amanda?'

'On the late shift can not wait to get home"

'Ooh, planning a romantic night in with Peter are we? Are you two going to you know…?'

'No!'

'That's a very definite no.'

'It is.'

'Ever the gallant Olivia.
