Wow, thanks so much for the positive feedback! Yes, I thought making Sharon the one interested in Andy would be a fresh idea. We'll see where this takes us...

Sharon was glad that she had the rest of the weekend to regroup. It would have been a bit unnerving to see Andy the following morning, but since they'd worked their case until Saturday afternoon, she had at least all of Sunday to deal with her emotions. Problem was, it wasn't working. By Monday morning, when she should have been the calm, cool, and collected Captain Raydor, she felt like a bundle of nerves; she was a mess. What was wrong with her? So, Andy had turned down her offer to go to the wedding. She was sure he'd be happy to tell the team all about it today. His little girl had gotten married and she should be happy for him. What she'd discovered is that had nothing to do with it. Sharon had seen the wedding as a chance to spend some personal time with a colleague, someone with whom she'd like to get to know better, and he'd turned her down. She wasn't used to being the aggressive one; Jack had pursued her, and really, she hadn't had a lot of other boyfriends or interest before then. Since Jack, every member of the LAPD had avoided her; she was the scary one from FID. She'd gone out on a limb asking Andy, and she'd been rejected. It stung; it hurt, and she didn't like it. She was trying to embrace the new life she was leading, the divorced life. Jack was going to be gone, thank goodness, and while she didn't want to be someone on the prowl, she did want to feel like she was attractive and maybe even a catch. She didn't feel like that. She though through all of this on the drive to work.

Meanwhile, in the office, Provenza was kicked back in his chair doing his daily crossword when Andy strolled in.

"Ahhh, if it isn't the 'Father of the Bride' today. Well, well, survived the wedding, I see? No domestic dispute calls, so it is safe to assume you didn't take down your ex?" Provenza baited Andy.

Andy waved him off as he strolled to his desk. Provenza put down his crossword and watched him. Andy spoke as he continued to walk, not even looking to Provenza, "It was good. Nic looked beautiful, but I wouldn't have imagined any less. Yeah, I managed to keep my cool with Sandra and the husband, that guy I won't even dignify by using his name," he rolled his eyes. "It went well. Nic was glad I came. Good night," he grinned.

Provenza's eyes narrowed, "What aren't you telling me?"

Andy shrugged, "Nothing, but I did meet a girl," he grinned again.

Provenza sat up, put his paper down, and looked even more direct at Andy, "Is that why you turned down the captain? You took a date? Come on; spill it!"

"How do you know the captain offered to go? Never mind," he waved his hand, "Yeah, Sarah. She's Nic's neighbor, or she was. She's only a few years older than Nic, but Nic is the one who introduced us. It sounds weird, but she thought we might get along at the wedding. We did. She was a lot of fun. I spent the evening dancing with her."

Provenza just shook his head, "Why didn't you mention a date before? You know the captain asked me to keep an eye on Rusty so she could help you out?"

"She did?" Andy looked surprised and confused at the same time. "I didn't mention a date because it wasn't a date. No, at the wedding, Nic just introduced me to Sarah. We got to talking. Why was the captain trying to help me?" he asked, looking even more clueless.

"I guess because your moping around here and yelling at your ex on the phone was getting to all of us. Maybe she saw that you weren't effective in your job; I don't know! Maybe she's just a nice person who was trying to help, and if you tell her I called her nice, I'll send you to evidence and every other irritating place I can think of for a month!" Provenza exclaimed.

"Hey, hey, hey," Andy held up his hand, "calm down. Geez. I didn't think it was a big deal, you know. The captain didn't need to get involved in my family business, even though she offered."

"I figured you'd want to take a pretty lady to tick off the ex," Provenza grumbled.

"Oh, I did spend the evening with a pretty lady," he smiled, brightly. "Sarah. I'm going to hopefully see her again this week."

"How old is she, Flynn?" Provenza asked, making a face. "I thought we'd both sworn off young ones. Our little airline disaster a few years ago taught us to at least up our age requirement by a decade or so."

"She's 32," Andy nodded. "So, old enough. It's not like I'm marrying her or anything; we're just going to go to dinner, see how it goes."

Provenza raised his eyebrows to Andy, "You're still old enough to be her father," he shook his head.

"Yeah, well, we'll see if there's anything there. Age is a number, you know. I've been really watching my diet, working on those cleanses and all. She's fun, and she'd a dietician-that was the whole reason Nic introduced us. She knows I'm really concerned about my health, healthy eating choices, and all. So, she didn't set us up or anything, just thought we could talk about food at the wedding. Anyways, one thing led to another, and I told her I'd call her this week. What better way to get some eating tips than to go to dinner?" he winked to Provenza. "Maybe I can get some good tips from her," he added.

"Whatever, Flynn," Provenza waved, and the conversation was dropped as Mike walked in. Within the next five minutes, the whole team trickled in, leaving only Sharon still to arrive.

"Andy, married off the daughter, hey?" Mike grinned to him. "Got any pictures?"

"Oh, please, Lieutenant," Amy nodded. "Let's see this $30,000 wedding. If I ever get married, which is a big if, I'm not spending that kind of money."

"Just you wait, Sykes," Provenza nodded. "You'll change your mind. All of a sudden, you'll want everything to be perfect."

"Is that why you keep getting married, Lieutenant?" Amy turned to Provenza. "Are you still waiting for everything to be perfect? Haven't gotten it just right, yet?" she baited him further. The team all started to laugh.

"Provenza would remarry an ex again before he'd spend $30,000 on a wedding, though," Andy chuckled. "This one for Nic better last. I'm not forking out that kind of money again. It will, though," he nodded. "Dean and the boys are great. Nic loves her new family."

"Pictures, Lieutenant?" Buzz offered. "If you give me your phone, I can pull up the photos on the board here for everyone to see."

Andy handed over the phone, and within a minute, the team was all looking at photos of Nicole's wedding. During this time, Sharon walked in, as the team was about halfway through the photos.

"Flynn, you look like you took a shower and cleaned up for the event," Provenza commented.

"Nice tux, Andy," Mike nodded to him.

"Thanks, Mike," Andy smiled back. Sharon had to admit that Andy's tux was nice. She didn't want to say anything, but she felt her cheeks getting flushed looking at how handsome he looked in the pictures.

"Your daughter looks beautiful, and that is a fantastic picture of the two of you," Sharon smiled to him. "Frame worthy," she nodded.

"Thanks, Captain," he grinned.

The team, except for Andy, all made a face at the next photo. Andy grinned, nodding to Provenza, "Hey, Provenza, that's the girl I met, Sarah, Nic's old neighbor and dietician, the one I'm going out with this week," he smiled, ear to ear. Provenza's eyes grew wide, as he turned toward Andy. He noted that the captain looked a bit shell shocked. He didn't know what was going on with her, but he could tell she felt embarrassed now for inviting herself to the wedding. The picture was innocent enough, but Andy had his arm around this Sarah, and both were leaning toward the camera, laughing about something. It looked like they were having a great time. Sarah was cute, thin, tall, and a brunette.

"Oh, you had a date, Lieutenant," Sharon nodded, trying to hide her embarrassment. Before she could get an answer, she hastily picked up her things to continue to her office.

"Sir, only you could pick up a date at your daughter's wedding," Julio grinned.

"Yeah, well, sort of. Nic introduced us, and we'll see how things go," Andy grinned, turning to answer her as she was now at her office door. Provenza, who wasn't stupid at all, started to piece things together, the reason the captain had asked for his help so she could help Andy, the comments, the sad face she had the other day. He shook his head. Something or someone was going on with her, and Provenza had a pretty good idea who, not what, it was.
