I loved this so much. Incredible use of language. My favorite part is the conversation between Alicia and Owen. The way you lead us to believe her reactions are to Owen's words and then an instant later we realize this is two conversations happening simultaneously. There is the conversation between Alicia and Owen about Kalinda and there is the conversation between Alicia and herself about the stir-fry. It is a wonderful juxtaposition that made me laugh out loud.
The best overarching aspect of this story is the manner in which you expanded these characters giving them further depth through exploration outside of their typical motivations of litigation and investigation. Yes you preserved the existing characterization of circumspect Kalinda however you also reintroduced us to dimensions of Kalinda's humor which we only sometimes glimpse in the episodes of the show. If the talented writing staff at the Good Wife production offices were to ever consider banking on the apparent chemistry between Kalinda and Alicia, I very much believe it would unfold something like you've proposed in this story. Well done!
This is amazing
