“Alex, may I speak with you for a moment?” Cragen asked, popping out of his office as he spoke to the ADA who was currently perched on Olivia’s desk. Old habits die hard.
Alex nodded and strode towards him, following him into his office.
“Close the door.”
She gazed at him curiously and shut it behind her.
He gazed at her for a long moment. “You haven’t asked where Olivia is today.” His expression was unreadable.
“No. I haven’t.” Alex cocked her head to the side, her brow furrowing slightly.
“Which means you’ve either stopped caring…” Cragen smiled slightly. “Or you already know because you kissed her goodbye when you left for work this morning.”
Alex smiled slowly.
Cragen nodded. “Take good care of her.”
“Always.” Alex gave a slight head bob and turned to go. Her hand was on the doorknob when a thought occurred to her and she turned back around. “How did you know?”
Cragen smiled softly. “She’s happy again.”
Alex smiled. “So am I.” And with that she turned and left, leaving Cragen with a content smile on his lips.
