Rita felt her heart thundering in her chest as she rocked on the balls of her feet outside Elizabeth Donnelly’s brownstone. She’d been struggling recently, wondering if SVU was really the place for her, if she would do better in straight homicide, hell, she’d settle for something as boring as white collar or family law right now. Her past had been coming back to haunt her, and she had been doubting herself more and more each day over the past year, down to the point that she did her absolute best to get back to her office before she burst into tears earlier in the week.
