Andy made it halfway across the station before she realized that she was in no state to see Luke right now. She made a quick left instead of a right and entered the ladies restroom. Praying there was no one in there. She was relieved to find she was alone.

Entering the stall she closed the door and leaned back against it. Oh god, she thought, what have I done? Why didn't I just say Sam emotionally, mentally and yes, physically you scare the hell out of me, so why don't you just let me play it safe with lukewarm Luke?

Lukewarm Luke, never would she admit how true those words were. She and Traci were in the locker room one morning when Gail poked her head in, "Hey! Lukewarm Luke is looking for you Andy. So you better step it up before your late for parade, again." Not waiting for a response the blonde did what she always did, snapped out a few words and arrogantly walked away.

"Lukewarm Luke?" Traci asked Andy, "What's that about?"

"I have no idea." Andy answered. But Andy knew, she just wondered how Gail knew.

Luke, he was stable and safe. So what if he made love like he was on autopilot? He's a good man, she told herself. He doesn't push me or demand to know what I am thinking. Stable and safe, she thought again, Stable and safe.

Do I even love him? He's hinting around about it but he's never actually said he loved me. Sam would if he did, he wouldn't… Damn it she thought stop comparing the two, they are as different as night and day. She realized then that tears were running down her face. Stop this right now, you can't cry here. Luke will see and ask what's going on. Just tell Luke you've had a bad day…I'm sick…yes I'm sick and I'm just going to head home to rest. Once I get to my apartment I'll be fine…I can be alone and cry all night.

Opening the stall door she walked to the sink, splashing cold water on her face trying to remove any sign of tears. When she stood to look into the mirror her mind flashed to the night Sam and her were in the locker room. Standing hip to hip in front of the mirror preparing for their undercover assignment. She thought he was teasing her, asking her how she felt about him when they first met. She hadn't know that he was deadly serious and prepping her for their assignment. For her that moment was, Andy and Sam not Gabe and Edie. She was feeling like it was their first date, Sam snapped her out of that easily enough.

Later when they were at the Mermaid lounge she suggested that Angel take her to get the drugs. Angel instead said Sam should go with him. Sam/Gabe came over to her before leaving. He was Sam then, telling her Callaghan wasn't the only one to have her back.

She just wanted that kiss…she knew it was coming. She reached up to meet him for it. The danger of the assignment and now having to be separated, she knew they had to see it through but she was scared, for both of them.

She needed that kiss to reassure her this was her Sam and everything would be okay. Sam as always, sensed it, he caressed her face and spoke softly to her. Asking her if so was alright and then they kissed. It happened much too quickly, she wanted it again but as she reached for him again, she stopped and only wiped away the signs of her lipstick from his bottom lip. She had to look away for that moment so that he didn't see. Couldn't read her, once again.

No I don't love Sam, I don't! I'll make this work with Luke, I'll make it work. She stole one more glance into the mirror she didn't think she looked like she was crying. Okay I can do this. She turned and left the bathroom and headed to Luke's office.

She saw him before she arrived at his door sitting at his desk. He looked at her through the glass, he was on the phone and held up his hand as if to say one moment. That stopped her for a second. We're moving in together and I can't even walk into his office? I have to wait until he's finished and available to talk to me? The weight of the day was taking its toll on her. To hell with this. she thought as she reached the door and walked right in.

Luke jerked when she opened the door. Sitting up from his reclining position in his chair he spoke into the phone "uhhh…er…well I'll have to get back with you later on that? Yes I have someone in my office right now. I'll call back soon." Luke fumbled as he placed the handset back onto the phone. He looked guilty she thought for a moment before he spoke.

"Andy I would appreciate if you would not just walk into my office when I am working." The words had snapped at Andy. She just stood there, dumbfounded. "What?" she said. "I…I'm sorry Luke I guess I just didn't think."

She was going to say that she was sick and had a horrible day but something stopped her. Her senses picked up that something was not right with Luke. He looked almost nervous. She didn't know why she said it but "Who was that on the phone?" just came out.

He shifted uncomfortably in his chair before saying, "Andy I cannot discuss my cases with you." He's lying she thought, he was looking everywhere but at her and she could not shake the feeling of uneasiness. Since when couldn't he talk to me about his cases? It seemed that was all he ever talked about. Deciding to drop the subject she just said. "Look I really am sorry I've had a bad day and I'm coming down with the flu or something…I think I'll just head home right now."

"That's fine because I'm knee deep in this Martini case, the witness can't be found and I can't get out of here for another couple of hours." Andy stared at him, I thought he just said he can't talk to me about his cases? she shook her head, this is more than she could handle today she just nodded and said. "Good night then."

"I'll call you later." He said as she turned to leave, looking back he was already reaching for the phone. He saw her look and just left his hand on the handset. "Is there anything else Andy?"

"No you don't have to call I'll be sleeping anyway."

"Fine, tomorrow then." With that he picked up the receiver dismissing her.
