It was a Tuesday evening at Amando's, their favorite Italian restaurant. A few diners dotted the tables, and their voices seemed hushed in the quiet, Old World atmosphere. Lieutenant Andy Flynn arrived ten minutes before 8 o'clock and asked to be seated at a table toward the rear of the house. He stood up from his chair when he saw his boss, Captain Sharon Raydor, enter the restaurant.
.
"Hey, Sharon," he said. His voice was solemn, as if he'd been anticipating this meeting for weeks, instead of just twenty-four hours.
"Andy," she smiled back.
She reached out to hug him, and he closed her in his arms.
Sharon relaxed, and there was no hiding how comfortable she had become in his presence outside the precinct.
Andy felt her melt into him, and he wished he never had to let her go.
Andy helped her into a chair, seated himself and was greeted by their waiter.
"May I take your drink order?" he asked politely.
Andy ordered water, and Sharon, a glass of wine.
"We have serious business to discuss," she purred. Andy nodded.
