Just a little something I whipped up after watching the premiere. I'm pretending the last part with Andy and Luke didn't happen. This is after she walked in on Luke and Jo talking.
"Who is she, Luke?" Andy demanded as she banged through the front door of their new house.
Her stomach and ribs were killing her from getting shot and she still had the image of Kate getting shot in her head, so she decided to skip the Penny that night.
Instead she was here, trying to get information out of Luke about Detective Jo Rosati.
She threw her bag on the floor and turned to Luke, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Andy, she's nobody. Not anymore," he said, trying to get close to her.
"Not anymore? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Andy said, pushing him away. She was upset and stressed and was in the mood to pick a fight.
She wondered why she was so upset; somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew she was probably overreacting, but she was also wondering why she kept replaying Sam's touch after she got shot…
She tuned back into the conversation.
"It was…complicated," Luke was saying now. He sighed, running a hand over his face.
Andy could tell that Luke was dancing around her question and it was really starting to irritate her.
"Either you tell me, or you don't, but I would seriously go with the former. And make it snappy," she said, ignoring the sharp bursts of pain her ribs were giving her. She fixed Luke with a glare and waited for him to continue.
He paused, and refused to meet her eye when he began.
"It was awhile ago, Jo and I were partners. We worked together every day and that eventually led to a relationship. We were together for three years before I…I proposed to her. She broke it off after a few months though, and she transferred to a different division. I haven't seen her since, I swear."
Andy's jaw dropped. Whatever she had been expecting it wasn't this.
"You were going to marry her?" she asked incredulously, trying not to make her voice sound so shrill. "And you weren't going to tell me this?"
"I didn't think it was that important. It doesn't mean anything. She'll only be here for this one case, and then she'll be back where she came from," Luke said, but he wasn't even convincing himself.
"Are you even listening to yourself?" she asked, throwing her hands up in frustration. "Of course this is important! You were almost married before and you didn't think that would be something you would mention to your girlfriend?"
Luke didn't answer, just letting her get it all out.
Andy tried to catch her breath, breathing sharply in through her nose and letting it out through her mouth.
Finally she composed herself enough to ask her final question. "Do you have any regrets?"
He hesitated slightly before giving an unsure: "No, of course not."
It was that hesitation that set her over the edge. She went into their room and pulled on some running gear, needing to let off some steam.
Luke was still standing in the same spot when she emerged again.
By the front door she knelt down to tie her running shoes.
"Andy, where are you going?" he asked her once she straightened again.
"I'll see you in the morning or something," were her last parting words as she let herself out the door.
She heard Luke move to the front door and call her name, but she had started running and she didn't look back.
She thought of where she would go. Traci's? Nah, she was either at the Penny or with Jerry and she didn't want to bother them. Should she go to Penny's as she had originally planned? No, she wasn't in the mood to reassure people that she was fine.
She suddenly realized where she had to go. To the one place where he would understand what she was going through without asking too many questions. Someone who was easy to talk to, even if he couldn't solve her problems.
Sam.
