Summary
“So Rita Calhoun proposed to me this afternoon.”
Rafael thinks he does an admirable job of keeping any expression except for vague curiosity off his face, but it’s so much harder with Olivia than with anyone else.
“What did you say?”
Olivia shrugs. “Told her I’d think about it.”
(Rafael Barba realizes he doesn’t want a perfect moment. He just wants to be married to Olivia Benson. Featuring a proposal, a job offer, a car accident, a panic attack, multiple deep and emotional conversations-- some of which are about fathers and sons, and some of which are not--, a paper ring, a family heirloom, and a wedding. It does not at any point feature a plan.)
