    Summary

    Elliot swallows hard. “I spent all these years acting like I had to put an ocean between us. Thought I was doing the right thing. Thought I could keep everyone happy, even at the cost of my own soul.” His voice catches, his eyes damp. “And guess what? It did nothing for my marriage, and it sure as hell did nothing for Olivia.”
    Nick doesn’t need to say it, but he does anyway. “You love her.”
    Elliot exhales sharply, shaking his head, something close to amusement flickering across his expression. “I’m not saying it first to you.”

     

    Or: Elliot makes different decisions in the past, just in time to be exactly the person Olivia needs during the worst time of her life.
    Fragments of a story about growth, reunions and absolution.

    Ironically as it seems, sometimes, breaking something is the only way to make it whole again.

    Summary

    A loud thud was the next thing anyone remembered hearing, as her left fist connected with right eye, the solitaire diamond he’s gotten her years before slicing open a cut at his eye brow on connection.

    “Well that went about as well as I expected it to,” Fin said from the doorway.

    Summary

    There was a dim light coming through the half open bedroom door, when she got back home. She was suddenly so very glad he was there. For most of the time she didn’t mind falling asleep alone, she wasn’t bothered by the lack of a warm body snuggled against her or the lack of his snoring, she also didn’t miss fighting for blanket or for space. This night however, she couldn’t wait to fall into his waiting arms and mourn the loss of their old captain together.

    Summary

    "With the kitchen and bathroom clean and the rest of the apartment straightened, he paces his space, considering if it’s too cold to address the unkempt garden outside. It is, so he gives up and sits on the couch and places his feet on the coffee table.

    It’s going to be a long fucking week."

    Elliot's time off after Joey's death.
