Rosie nodded her head, “ Tell me about it, and yet I still have tons of papers to go through when I get home.” 

“Life of the police, right?” She laughed, knowing she had pretty much the same thing to do.

“Thank you for that. I guess I’m just letting my thoughts run wild a little bit right now.” Elliot smiled over at her for a moment. “Good, I was hoping you would say that. Nice little getaway just the two of us. No interruptions or anything like that.”

“Sounds great to me,” She told her before giving her a grateful smile, “ It’s really nice though to have someone with me.” 

Alex smiled. “Of course! Us girls gotta stick together, right?” She chuckled, looking around briefly but they seemed to be alone and at least it wasn’t too far to go. “God, I’m exhausted... that was such a long day.”

Rosie nodded a bit, “ Yeah probably. I don’t really know why I’m so jumpy.” She told her, even though she knew the truth as to why. “ You’re right, and yes please. Would be nice if I wasn’t alone on the way home.” 

“Come on then.” Alex chuckled, moving and linking arms with her and leading her along the street. “Let’s get you home.”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just thinking about Nina, the twins, Brad. Just everything.” He smiled when she kissed his cheek. “I’m also thinking that we could have a date night. Just you and me. No phones, no interruptions. Just us.”

Rosie sighed in relief as she noticed someone familiar, “ Sorry. Just I feel as though I was hearing footsteps since I left the station.” 

“Really?” Alex frowned a little. She was sure she hadn’t been that loud... had she? “I’m sure it’s nothing, probably just... people going home.” Though in this town you couldn’t be too careful, right? “I can walk with you now if you like.”

“Probably so, I’m pretty sure everyone as at some point.”
