#it’s funny bc mariska says she likes them together but then plays olivia like that

[quinnfebrey]

just rewatched the almost kiss scene and jesus christ the amount of distress elliot’s presence causes olivia is unreal. him cornering her against a wall and her repeating “im not ready for this” while looking like she’s about to faint. she’s not just “scared it’s not going to work out.” she can feel that it’s not right and knows that he’s an unstable, unpredictable, garbage friend, husband, cop, and father who has trauma bonded to her and is trying to convince her that it’s love.
