Andy heard the TV before he was even in. It was loud. Louder than usual anyway.

He took off his jacket and went in search of Sharon. She was relaxing on the couch with a glass of wine in her hand. She was watching the TV and still hadn't turn to face Andy so he took a few seconds to admire her. Her legs were bent and her soft skin was appealing to him so he decided to manifest himself.

"Hi." He said smiling. He rounded the sofa and put a hand against the back of the couch to dropped his head and kissed Sharon. She would usually raised her head to kiss him back but she didn't. She often did that at the beginning of their relationship. She wouldn't kiss him when she had been drinking but with time (and a lot of talking from Andy) she understood that it was not a problem.

"Did you have dinner?" Andy asked. When Sharon nodded her head no he walked to the kitchen.

When he walked in he saw what was wrong. There was an empty bottle of wine beside the sink. Sharon had drunk much more than usual. Which made Andy worried. He had been the one buying that bottle when he had went to the grocery shop yesterday. So she had drunk that bottle all by herself on one night only. Sharon was usually an happy tipsy person. When they had made that barbecue at Provenza and Patrice's place, the lieutenant had made her drink quite a lot. She had not resisted and all the team had enjoy a great time together. Sharon had been happy and really horny by the time they got home. Yeah. Andy had happily discovered that about Sharon too. She was an horny drunk.

"What do you want for dinner honey?" Andy asked, trying not to say something about the alcohol.

"Don't care." He heard her say.

Andy walked back to the couch. "Sharon. Are you okay?"

"Of course I am." She said with the fakest smile Andy had ever saw her with."How was your meeting?"

"Oh. Good. Very good actually." He said and walked back to the kitchen. He didn't exactly know why but he thought that maybe Sharon was trying to pick up a fight. She never did that.

"Yeah, I bet." Sharon stood up and Andy saw her tripping over her own feet before she walked to him. She put her glass on the counter loudly and turned to him, almost casually. "So, tell me, Andy. Does every man has to cheat? Is it something written in your DNA? Like menopause for women? Or maybe is it just me? Maybe I'm the problem, I get attach to assholes only?" Sharon let out a laugh before continuing. "Or maybe I don't give you enough sex. Is that the problem? Because I thought that our sex life was amazing but maybe I was wrong. Do you just lie there and think of your girlfriends while we're at it..."

Andy just looked at her totally speechless. "Sharon... What the hell are you talking about?"

"Sharon, what the hell are you talking about." Sharon mimicked Andy. "We've been married for two months Andy! Two months! Is that such a long time for you? So I can only imagine what the rest of our life is gonna be like...Did you also did the same when I wanted to take things slowly. Did you get your dose of sex from someone else?" Sharon took a step toward him and raised a hand so he took a step back, afraid she was going to slap him.

That never happened with her and he didn't want to start now. He took the hand which was still raised and grabbed her by the shoulders and resisted the urge to shook some sense to her.

"What the hell is wrong with you! What are talking about? I'm not cheating on you! God! Why would I do that when I've been in love with you for so long! Do you realize how ridiculous you sound right now? What made you think that I had a mistress?"

Andy looked eyes with her and saw her chin trembled just like she usually did when she was about to cry. Andy pulled her to him and hugged her against his chest. Sharon started to sob. He had never heard that kind of sound coming from her. It scared him.

"Honey. What the hell happened? I love you. I want and will spend the rest of my life with you. What happened to put you into such a state?"

"Who is that young girl you were with tonight?" Andy heard her whisper.

"What girl?"

Sharon pushed him against the counter and Andy slammed violently into it. "Don't lie to me!" She shouted while wiping her tears.

"I am not!" Andy said raising his hands in front of him. "Which girl are you talking about?"

"That girl you met at your meeting! The girl you're fucking when we're not together! That one!"

"I'm not fucking anyone Sharon! God stop! Which young girl are you talking about?" Andy then opened his eyes wide. "Mary? That's who you're talking about? Mary? The young girl I'm mentoring?"

Sharon gasped and there was a long silence before Andy took her back into his arms. She hide her face into his shirt.

"Mary is twenty-two. Last year, she lost her best friend from cancer and her boyfriend committed suicide. Her parents are living in England. She is here because she is a journalist. But she is all alone. So she started to drink. One day while going to work she had an hangover and almost crashed someone with her car. That's why she decided to come to an AA meeting. She had been sober for a month. So Michael asked me if I could mentor her. And I said yes. I'm not sleeping with her, Sharon. She is just a young girl that I'm helping. And I didn't want to talk about it because it's very private and I honestly didn't think it was important. You would have meet her eventually anyway."

"You promise?"

Andy squeezed her hard against his body. "Yes, of course. I promise. I'm not seeing anyone except you. I love you, Sharon. I'm the happiest man of earth that you married me. You're my wife and I love you. I wouldn't cheat on you like that."

"I'm an idiot. I'm so sorry." Sharon said pulling a little away from Andy. He kept his arms loosely around her waist.

"You're not idiot. You were scared, I understand that. But Sharon, why didn't you talk to me to begin with? When you had doubts."

Sharon extract herself from his arms and put some distance between them. "I didn't... It's just that... Promise you won't be upset?"

Andy looked at her suspiciously. "I'm afraid I can't promise that."

"Jack came here tonight. He came to ask me something and when he left, he said that you two were in the same meetings now. I didn't know that."

Andy nodded his head; "Yeah. We are."

"When he left, he told me that you had left with a young girl tonight. I just thought that sometimes you're later than usual after your meetings and then my head just made some connections..."

Andy walked past her and started to pace in the living room. When he slammed a hand against the wall, Sharon jumped and new tears formed. She was so ashamed of herself. "Damn it! I'm gonna kill that bastard.

"How dare he! Meetings are private! That's why I didn't tell you! Not because I'm having an affair. So then he comes here and say all those awful things! Sharon how could you believe him?"

Sharon turned her head to look at him. Even in her drunken mind she hadn't thought that Andy's anger would be directed at her.

"What?"

"I'm tired of Jack interfering in our relationship." Andy said, his anger gone and his tone totally resigned. That scared Sharon.

"What do you mean?" She hiccupped then and Andy almost smiled.

"Come on. Let's go to bed. You will have one hell of a headache tomorrow." Sharon took his extended hand and let him walked them to their bedroom. He closed the door behind Sharon while she just flopped down on the bed.

"I wanna sleep." She pouted.

"I know." Andy helped her get undressed and put her under the cover. He laid down quietly beside her, just looking at the ceiling; When he heard her light snoring he stood up and took his pillow with him. He hesitate just a second before opening the door and laying down on the couch. Sleeping on the sofa was something he had been used to in his first marriage. Andy shook his head and sighed, trying to contain the tears which tried to fall out.

He was used to it with Sandra. But he never thought that it would happen in his marriage to Sharon.
