You can express your deepest of truths even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it

You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss I'll empathize with

You can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion and I'll hear it

You can even hit rock bottom have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it

(and there are no strings attached)

Alicia Florrick was lying in her hospital bed, speaking with her kids; she remembered the accident, vaguely, remembered being brought here. She wondered briefly where Kalinda is, but her mind was tired and the thought quickly slipped away, making room for more pressing matters.

The truth is Alicia Florrick was tired; she was physically tired, she was emotionally tired, she was tired of people passing judgment on her without really knowing her, she was tired of people not giving her enough credit and the respect she deserved, she was tired of Peter's betrayals and her kids constant demands, she was tired of having to go on pretending nothing has happened and everything is all right, she was tired of not being her own person, but most of all, she was tired of being angry; Angry at Peter, angry at her clients, angry at the world, angry at Kalinda.

When she found out about Peter and Kalinda, she wasn't angry, she wasn't even that surprised. She didn't believe Peter when he told her it was just the one whore, she suspected he wasn't entirely faithful even before, and Kalinda did work for him, and she is beautiful, she could see how this happened. No, but she was hurt, hurt beyond words, more hurt than she had been when the scandal first came out. She didn't cry, not then, first she had to make sure no one will hurt her again, later she will cry.

The anger came later, with the resentment and the grief. Not so much for the act itself, but for their friendship that was now lost. She was angry at Kalinda that she could take her most significant relationship in the past two years and make her something out of necessity, or guilt. That she could lie to her day in and day out, go with her for drinks and talk about Peter and all the while not telling her she slept with him. The thought that Kalinda wasn't really her friend, that all the moments they shared weren't real was too much for her to handle, so she didn't think about it. She didn't let Kalinda explain, she didn't talk to her, she just told her to get out of her office and didn't think about her again. (Except when we she did…)

The last few weeks have changed her mind, finding out that Kalinda found Grace, that she did it for her. And the fact that she didn't take credit for it only emphasize the act for Alicia, so much so that she went against her nature and confronted Cary to get her release.
