This is a fanfic I chose to write especially about Sandra on an ordinary night in at home, watching television. It will be a short 2 part Chapter which reveals quite a lot more about Sandra's feelings and her feelings about work.
On A Night Like This
Chapter 1
After spending yet another challenging day of trying to match the appropriate answers to the re-opened Douglas Loveloy murder case throughout the morning and for the rest of the afternoon also. Time was fast approaching for the UCOS detectives to file away any uncompleted documents and leave that afternoon/early evening. Gerry and Jack as regularly were the first two willing to leave the office, both clearly having their explained reasons for leaving beforehand.
Sandra looked on, giggling after spotting the nervousness beginning to emerge across Gerry's already blushed face as he desperately tried to hurry Jack "Come on Jack it doesn't exactly take all night to search for your house keys", Jack didn't enjoy being hurried. However for the Detective Superintendent it was laughable to see and precisely entertaining to watch her colleagues quarreling amongst one another.
She calmly waited round within her office and then walked out, waiting for Brian to place his bicycle helmet on over his head and fasten the strap across his chin. Minutes later after the coast seemed pretty clear, she seconded checked just in case that Gerry and Jack had indeed finally left, when it became apparent, she quickly turned to her eccentric colleague hoping to discover juicy details about the date Gerry kept rambling on about earlier. "So where exactly is Gerry taking the delightful Phoebe tonight for their romantic meal for two?, Personally I think he missed the boat by not taking her out for a meal on Valentine's Day but still I'm keen to find out"
"Well they aren't going for a romantic dinner, he told me he wants to treat her the good old fashioned way by accompanying her to the cinema. Gerry said hewasn't fussy on watching Black Swan or True Grit" Brian explained to her.
"Typical Gerry avoiding the new remake to please a date, the very charmer he makes himself out to be, so what film has he chosen?, anything to dazzle or wow the delightful Phoebe with, Sleepless in Seattle, Love Actually, Titanic..." Sandra couldn't fight back a fascinated glance as she felt interested to find out more, she kept asking herself to stop meddling into Gerry's personal business. how would you like it, if he came hiding behind a garden wall or behind a bus stop while you were on a romantic date with someone you really fancied.
"Twilight Eclipse apparently, I think she mentioned the other night when he met here that she loved any films with Robert Pattinson in" Brian answered, he himself wasn't mainly absorbed by the talk of Twilight. His main film and television loves were Political thrillers like The Manchurian Candidate and Law and Order UK & US.
"Oh well, looks as though he's in for quite a telling romantic date then" Sandra stated, this time not regretting what she said, all she knew for definite that she was certainly looking forward to hearing about the evening panned out for Gerry and Phoebe. Looking and thinking closely about it wasn't jealously she felt, it was more of a distraction she needed most of all.

While at home and after having watched the latest episode of Mad Dogs on Sky Player, Sandra blushed as she secretly wished for a gorgeous and charismatic boyfriend very much like Quinn or Woody. Around 8pm she began walking up the staircase inside of her house considering whether she have an early night and be early in the morning, as she passed the bathroom she then decided against going to the bedroom and felt she had to take the much needed weight off her feet by having a shower later that Wednesday evening.
After undressing and dropping the houserobe by the bathroom door, she quickly ducked into shower and stood underneath the already warmish sprinkled water washing down over her. She smiles thoughtfully and began to reflect on her love life, maybe after watching Mad Dogs and clearly drooling over the four main characters in the show, this was an promising chance for her to start afresh and consider meeting that special someone who could make her life so much perfect and wonderful. Sandra wasn't exactly keen on meeting single men online, knowing from having searched and googled dating websites at work when nobody was looking, she just didn't trust what she was always read about the single men mentioned, some were plain liars or some had posted uncanny pictures resembled to famous move actors. She smiled all the way throughout the shower as she allowed the hottish water to wash over her shoulders and legs, she ran her hand softly over her left shoulder applying some soap to wash away any dryness .
I could try speed dating one night, that might get me somewhere. My mind's always on work and how its constantly stresses me out a lot, this could be my chance of meeting Mr Right hopefully. At least it's a chance of stopping the team from asking me when I might find the one.
Later on that night, as Sandra settled finally settled in bed and rested relaxingly under the duvet, she found the romantic book she'd been reading the night before under the pillow and slowly took out the bookmark she left on Page 28, she took her reading glasses from the table alongside the bed, then placed them on her and began to resume where she'd left off. As she managed to read three pages she heard a loud thumping knock downstairs on the letterbox and then on the hard surfaced front door which caused her to jump nervously and distract her from reading any further pages. Who was the midnight caller and why were they knocking this late at night?, She had to investigate. She climbed out of bed and put her slippers on, before leaving the bedroom and walking downstairs in the pitch dark. Just as she reached the last step of the staircase she spotted a tall darkened figure standing on the other side of the door, who appeared to be drunk and dazed.
