Andy glanced at herself in the mirror, feeling only slightly refreshed from her shower. It had been a long day, and her body was sore from chasing down that prisoner. She winced a bit when she brought her hand up to the bruise on her otherwise imperfect cheek. The prisoner had clocked her one in the face when she tried to apprehend him, nearly breaking her jaw.
Andy sighed, knowing it would be several days before it healed.
She supposed that it had all worked out for the best. They'd recaptured the prisoner, gotten credit for the capture, and things between her and Sam had finally seemed to smooth over. Forced to work together had been one thing, but the turning point had been when he'd saved her from the deranged prisoner. The man who'd been so desperate to not go back to prison, that he'd been willing to kill her. Andy knew that if Sam hadn't arrived when he had, she would probably be dead.
Andy finished getting dressed, preparing to meet him for drinks. They were celebrating the capture of the prisoner, and - though neither of them said it aloud - the renewal of their friendship. And with it, came that slight undertone of something more than friendship, but that was unspoken too, of course.
While Andy was happy that things were good between her and Sam again, it also further complicated things. She was still with Luke, but she couldn't deny her feelings for Sam.
She applied a little makeup, trying to cover up the large bruise on her face, but thought better of really 'dolling up'. She was going for drinks with Sam, but she didn't want it to seem like a date. No matter how much she might want it to be.
Just make up your mind, McNally! she chastised herself, thinking about the two men in her life. She knew that she had to pick one, she couldn't keep bouncing back and forth between the two.
"McNally, you ready?" Sam asked from outside the locker room.
Andy sighed, throwing the rest of her stuff into her bag. "Yeah, I'm coming." She knew that she had to make up her mind ... maybe tomorrow, or the next day. But tonight, she wouldn't let herself worry too much about it. Tonight, she just wanted to have fun with her partner, and celebrate their job well-done. If something should happen that helped her in her decision ... well, she'd just have to see where the night went.
Sam greeted her with a smile when she came out of the locker room. "All set?"
Andy nodded with a smile. "Yeah, let's go."
They left the division, making their way to the Penny. Neither could have known that that first night of drinks would mark the start of one of the most intense and lasting relationships either of them had ever experienced.

End of chapter one. This will likely be a two-part story.
Just a quickie ... seems to be my specialty lately.
Well, what did you guys think? Like it, hate it?
I can't wait for tomorrow's episode! But more importantly, I can't wait for the one after it!
Reviews are appreciated, flame if you must, but constructive criticism is much more useful.
