Olivia massaged her temples as she sat at her desk; looking at the clock she was shocked to see it said 12:00 am, God how sad is it that even though it's so late I don't care because I have no one to go home to? You are so pathetic, Benson, "So pathetic..."

"What's pathetic?" Liv looked up to see a rather awake and perky ADA Casey Novak walking into the squad room.

"I was just thinking how pathetic it is that it's midnight and I don't even care that I'm still at work. Speaking of which, what brings your shining face to this dismal squad room?"

"Well, I was in the office until about 11:30 when it occurred to me that maybe I wasn't the only one staying late. Imagine my surprise to find the sexy and alluring Detective Benson alone in the squad room talking to herself."

Wait, did Casey Novak just say I was sexy and alluring? "Well counselor, I'm sorry to surprise you, next time I'll call and tell you I'm staying late," Liv stood up and walked over to Casey, "but you dodged my question about why you were here."

"I was hoping that a certain detective would be staying late as well; I guess Elliot decided to go home." Casey nearly started laughing watching Liv's face change from intrigue to embarrassment.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you counselor." Liv turned and began to walk away but Casey grabbed her arm.

"Liv, wait. I was looking for you, not Elliot."

"For...me? Really?"

"Trust me, Elliot's not my type."

"What is your type counselor?"

"Well I've had a thing for a certain tall, dark and handsome female detective for a very long time." Casey slid her arms around Liv's waist as she leaned in to kiss her.

The two kissed for a few minutes before Liv pulled away, "What would you say if I told you I was deeply attracted to and interested in a certain spunky stubborn ADA?"

"I'd say you described half of the ADA's in New York."

"Well, I'm only interested in one."

"Good," Casey grabbed Olivia's hand and pulled her to the elevator. As the elevator doors closed Liv smiled to herself, Well Benson, looks like tonight will end on a positive note...
