Part 2/5 of 5 Things That Never Happened To Alex Cabot
Olivia’s funeral was on a Sunday afternoon. The sun was shining, and Alex couldn’t help but curse God or whoever it was who controlled the weather. The sun wasn’t supposed to shine on a day like this. It was supposed to be raining. It always seemed to rain in the movies.
Her gaze wandered to Elliot. He was barely holding himself together. Tears streaked his somber face. He had given a eulogy during the service earlier. It hurt her that she hadn’t been asked to speak, but what can you expect? No one knew that they had been together. They had been secretly dating for a little over eight months.
Alex twisted the ring on her left ring finger. It was a simple silver band, a gift from Olivia on their six-month anniversary. The inside was inscribed with one simple word: forever. But that one word had meant the world to her.
But forever wasn’t long enough. The end had come too soon. And now Alex was left on her own, with nothing but that simple silver band and that one-word inscription to hold on to.
