She Doesn't Get Out Much

Months ago, Casey Novak and Alexandra Cabot were in the midst of a blossoming relationship. Then Alex was shot, and subsequently vanished without a word, leaving Casey to struggle with the sudden fall-out and the stress of her new job and lack of support while Alex herself submerged herself in both mental and physical therapy, desperately wanting to regain the function of her arm and her sense of safety and stability that the bullet had stolen from her. (See previous works in this series, which should probably be read in order for this one to make sense.)Now, all either of them knows is that they're struggling. Casey doesn't know how to trust Alex after her absence, and Alex doesn't know how to prove to Casey she's genuine, or how to help her with her own demons at all. But lawyers are known for being stubborn, and they have one thing in common: neither wants to fuck it all up forever.Essentially: Eight dinners, over the span of a couple weeks, and the potential comradery has to heal those who feel alone.
