But this is the life she has chosen for herself, there’s nothing wrong with it.
This line, and how she doesn't want to be her alter and maybe the Olivia he remembers, really got to me. Especially after "Novation," the show is really hitting home that this Olivia is a different one whose made some very different choices. And maybe there is a hole in her life, but is this Peter who has appeared, is he the one meant to fill it?
I love the sparseness of your writing here, as it really reflects the overlapping memories that kind of just come...lacking real context, the uncertainty of these memories that filter through. You picked out all the important ones -- sweetheart, I've never met anyone who can do the things that you do, you belong with me, and finally I love you. All the things that THIS Olivia has never said to anyone, because there was this hole in her life.
And now it's been filled, but it's not quite right, he doesn't quite fit, she's not sure what is supposed to be or is not.
This is gorgeous. I love how you've woven each little memory into her life. And that last section gave me goosebumps. ♥ Thank you for sharing this with us.

These two lines were especially poignant:
