Rachel manages to stay silent until he's gone, but only just. "Seriously, Liv, I'm... ecstatic to have you home, but what the hell?"
Olivia sighs as she turns to go back inside, and offers Ella her hand, which Ella eagerly takes. She's going to need some time to think up a few believable lies... or a way to phrase the truth so it sounds plausible to Rachel. "I promise I will tell you everything I'm legally allowed to know, just... Can I put Ella back to bed first?"
There's no chance Rachel could say no to that request, and they both know it. She shakes her head, but she's grinning while she does, and so is Olivia as Ella tows her eagerly inside.
It's tempting to sleep in. It really is. If Broyles is ever going to give her a pass on taking an unannounced personal day, it's going to be now, but she can't justify that to herself. She has a report to write, things to explain to her team... and she promised Steve she'd come find him in the morning.
It's still late in the morning when she arrives at his hotel, on the off chance he managed to sleep in. He deserves a little rest before she subjects him to Walter again. The walk up to the room is familiar - just like old times, when she used to stop by to wake Peter in the middle of the night so she could talk to Walter - and before long she's juggling coffee cups so she can knock on his door.
