A New Scene (2)

[failegaidin]

I decided to continue my little Benson/Green story from Law & Order. I'm going to try and do the story arc in a series of 100-word drabbles. Here is the second:

            Ed watched his new partner carefully as they worked. He knew that she hadn’t been entirely honest with him about why she transferred to Homicide. There were no secrets in the NYPD, and rumor had it that there was something between her and Eliot Stabler, her former partner. Looking at her now, Ed doubted that Olivia would have an affair with a married man. She was too principled, too strong in her own convictions.
            He just hoped she understood that she deserved better than to wait around for a man who was too afraid to act on his own feelings.
