   Summary

   The heated moment crashes to a halt as Olivia braces herself against the hard edge of the fridge.

   I'm not ready for this.
   I'm not ready for this.

   A silent chant. A desperate plea. She isn’t sure if she’s trying to keep him at bay—or convince herself. Overwhelmed and overstimulated, her brain shuts down, shifting into autopilot.

   --

   Or Elliot is determined to show her she should lean on him, not her bloody fridge.
   This is not a fluffy fix it, but rather a more hopeful, less radical take on the kitchen scene, giving Elliot more room to try to convince Olivia that it may work out.
   They navigate through complex feelings so the end result here is not as clear cut as one would hope for, but i believe it makes it quite canon (all frustration and expectations hanging around included)
