          a meme, but i forgot which one :-)

     it’s nothing short of a SURPRISE when she sees the blonde at her doorstep. to hear a knock at this time of night could only bring about a wave of uncertainty; the time was far too late for a social call, too early for something work related, but upon discovering the woman waiting on the other side she was reassured. the A.D.A had always been notorious for unannounced visits, but they had the tendency to carry along a certain feeling of                     comfort. to know this wasn’t something related to the chaos of her everyday only made alex’s arrival more inviting. olivia had offered her a drink and a moment of her time to sit, relax, talk … or whatever it was she came here for. by opening her door wider, she welcomed alex into her home. a half-drank bottle of red wine sat on the counter only a few steps behind her, and she motioned for the other woman to come in and share what remained. when she refused, brows furrowed in confusion. it wasn’t like alex to turn down such an invitation.

     so, she stands in place. one hand remained on the door handle, the other falling to her side. she doesn’t say anything; lips part but words are stuck in her throat becuase she’s confused, a feeling of worry slowly creeps up but it’s pushed aside until alex speaks. her voice is quiet when the words fall, it only takes a moment to process but when she hears her say GOODBYE, it hits hard. and she’s stunned, breath catches in her throat as she takes a small step back, all thoughts are stopped in their tracks. she’d already said goodbye to alex more than once in the past, and since her last unanticipated return olivia thought she was here for good. she had used their short time together as a way to get used to the others company, she’d found solace in their nights together, almost as a way to cope with whatever troubles she was facing in the many aspects of her life. hell, even noah was getting used to her. it takes her a moment to bring herself back but words are caught and can’t say much. when she finally speaks, words deliver as a whisper; barely audible. 

              “the last time you said that, you left me with                a two-hundred dollar bar tab and told me                it was because the ‘government called’.                                        which wasn’t true, was it?”
