    Summary

    "The paramedics lift him carefully, securing straps across his shoulders and legs. He does not resist, but his gaze stays locked on the children until the last possible second.

    As they wheel him toward the stairs, Olivia finally steps closer, close enough to be heard over the noise. “You’re going to make a full statement,” she says. “When you’re stable.”

    He nods, eyes half-lidded now, exhaustion cutting through the adrenaline.

    “Badge number six three one three,” he says again, as if it matters that she remembers. “Don’t let them bury this.”

    “I won’t,” she promises."

    Olivia Benson learned how to survive alone.
    Elliot Stabler learned how to carry everyone else.

    Summary

    Olivia hates having to explain to people who have no context of the life she’s led—the life she was born into—that no, she’s never met her soulmate and no, she certainly doesn’t want to.
    She really, really doesn’t.
    It’s just her luck, she thinks, that soulmates are so rare. That real connections are so easily lost. That in a world like theirs, the chances of ever crossing paths are slim to none. She tells herself she’s fine with that.
    She’s perfectly fine with never knowing.
    That is, until she meets Elliot Stabler.
