For the past two weeks Andy had focused on work. She had seen that she had several calls from Oliver, Zoe, and a few from Traci, but she simply chose not to answer them. She had a feeling they were calling to check on her and ask her to come home. She had just finished her last day of work and decided to give Traci a call. After the second ring, Traci picked up, "Andy, are you ok? Have you talked to Oliver because you aren't answering anyone's calls?"

"I've been busy. I've been training a new girl at work, and I haven't had much free time. Why are you so frazzled?" she asked.

"You need to talk to Oliver," Traci stated.

"I'll call him in a few minutes. How are you?" she said trying to avoid talking about what she really wanted to ask.

Traci sighed, "I'm fine if you disregard my best friend leaving town without telling anyone and then not answering her phone. I also have an upset boyfriend who is upset with said best friend, and a grumpy coworker."

"Why is Jerry mad at me?" she wondered.

"Look, I'll talk to you later. Right now you need to call Oliver because there's something you should know. I hope you are doing well," Traci said before hanging up.

She called Oliver a little agitated with how Traci was acting towards her. "Hey Oli," she said by way of greeting.

"Wow it took you two weeks to return my call," he replied.

"Look Oli, I don't know what your problem is, but I just got off the phone with Traci who hung up on me, and I don't need it from you too. Traci said you needed to tell me something," she answered.

He sighed, "Sorry, it's just you've really made a mess of things. Before I tell you, did you decide whether or not you're moving back here?"

"Yes, but I'm going to be here for a couple more weeks. I need to pack everything and tend to a few things before I can leave. Now tell me what's going on and why everyone is giving me the cold shoulder," she remarked.

"Sam went back undercover after he found out you left. I don't know when he's coming back," he stated.

"But I thought he quit going undercover. He left because of me?" she cried, "I'm so sorry Oli. This is all my fault. I should've stayed away from him. Maybe I shouldn't come back. He probably hates me now."

"Andy stop," he responded, "He doesn't hate you. He was just hurt that you left, and therefore he did the same thing you did, he ran away from his feelings. Come home Andy. You said it yourself Toronto is where you belong."

"But what about Sam…" she started.

"He'll come back. He just needs time. You love him don't you," he said.

"Yea, I think I do. Oh Oli, what am I going to do? I know I shouldn't have left, but I was falling for him so quickly, and I got scared. I mean I had to come back for work, but I shouldn't have left the way I did. I'm so sorry."

He was quiet for a moment before saying, "Its ok Andy. Just come home." She agreed to come home as soon as she could.

After hanging up with Oliver, she tried Sam's phone, but it went straight to voicemail. Instead of leaving a message, she quickly hung up and headed to her apartment. She started packing as quickly as she could.


She spent the next two days packing up all of her stuff. She had also contacted her landlord and told them she would be moving out. She called the moving company and they would be there the next morning. What would have normally taken two weeks to do, she finished in one. She had tended to everything and was on her way to the airport.

She had talked to Traci a couple of days ago and apologized for all that she had done. Traci told her it was ok, but that she needed to fix things when Sam came back. Traci also had agreed to pick her up at the airport and drop her off at her dad's house. She had decided to live there for awhile.

She landed in Toronto and made her way to baggage claim. Traci was standing there waiting for her along with Zoe. She was a little surprised that Zoe had come to but was happy to see both of them. They pulled her into a hug before Zoe asked, "Are you done running now?"

She replied, "Yea, I'm done. Are you girls up for ice cream because I really could use some."

"He left this for you," Zoe said as she handed her the note that he left, "I figured you could read it on our way to get ice cream, and then we can have a girl's night at the house tonight. The girls are at a sleepover and Oliver and Jerry have to work late."

She gathered her bags and walked to Traci's car. She climbed in the back seat and opened the envelope. Tears fell from her eyes as she read what Sam had written. He stated that he wanted her to find happiness and obviously that wasn't with him, so he wished her the best. He went on to say that he cared for her, but he needed some time away to ease the pain that he was feeling. He simply ended it by saying to take care. As she finished, the words had become blurred through all of her tears. She noticed that Traci had stopped and she and Zoe were currently watching her. "I'm sorry Andy," Traci whispered.

She nodded and quickly wiped her tears away. They all went inside the store and grabbed ice cream and some other snack foods. Then they headed to the Shaw residence and headed to the living room to watch some chick flicks on Netflix. The girls tried their best to get Andy's mind off of Sam for at least a little while. She wound up falling asleep on the couch, and Traci headed home.


Andy woke up to a quiet house and looked around to find no one awake yet. She walked into the kitchen and started a pot of coffee. A few minutes later, she heard, "Do you mind fixing me a cup?"

She turned around and smiled, "Sure Oli. It's almost ready. I'm guessing Zoe is still sleeping? I must have fallen asleep on the couch."

"Yea, you were passed out when I got home. Zoe mentioned you read the letter Sam left you," he commented, "I'm guessing that kind of explains the empty ice cream cartons."

"I really messed up this time, didn't I?" she stated.

He sighed, "Things happen, but I'll admit I was a little disappointed in you. So now what are you going to do since you're back?"

"I was thinking about joining the academy. I didn't tell Traci because I wasn't sure if I was going to go through with it," she replied.

He was shocked but simply asked, "What brought this on? You've always hated what we do. Is this about Sam?"

"No, this isn't about Sam. I think it's what my dad would have wanted. I mean being a paralegal was alright, but I think I was meant to do more. I want to actually be able to put criminals behind bars. So do you think you could help me?" she answered.

"Yea, but you do realize the academy takes a few months to finish. Then you'll be a rookie for a year. Are you sure this is what you really want to do?" he wondered.

She nodded before saying, "Yes, it is."

"Alright, I'll make a few calls. Good to have you home, kid," he joked as he grabbed his mug and walked out.

Andy sat at the counter and smiled. After all these years of fighting it, she was really going to be a cop. She knew the academy was tough, but she knew she could handle it. Besides, she had a support system backing her up. Now she needed to call Traci. "Hey girl," she said as Traci picked up.

"Andy, no offense but it's like 7AM on my day off. What do you need?" Traci groaned.

"I'm joining the academy. Oliver is making some calls for me," she replied.

"WHAT!" Traci yelled now fully awake, "Since when?"

Andy laughed, "I decided this a few weeks ago while I was in New York, but I decided last night that I would go through with it. I figured I would let you be the first person to know."

"Wow, I admit I didn't see this one coming. Either way, I'm happy for you," Traci added, "but the academy is killer, so good luck. Those are days that I don't miss."

"Yea yea, well I'll let you get back to sleep. Talk to you later," she finished after Traci had said her goodbyes.

She placed her phone on the counter when Zoe walked in. "Did I hear right? Are you joining the academy?" Zoe asked.

"Yea Oli is making some calls, but I should be good to go," she responded.

Zoe laughed, "And to think this coming from the girl who swore she would never be a cop. I guess things really do change, but your dad would be proud."

"Well at least I'm doing something right," she started.

"Sam will get over it, and who knows maybe you guys will get back together. By the way, I'm still upset with you for not telling me that you guys were even together in the first place," Zoe recalled, "But if you fix me a cup of coffee, you will be forgiven." She smiled and poured Zoe her coffee. The two sat and chatted about everything that had been going on since she left.

Oliver came back later in the morning and told her that she would be starting at the academy tomorrow and would be there for the next four months. He also told her it would be tough, but he had her back and was only a phone call away.

She left the Shaw's and went to her house. She packed some items that she would need, and unpacked items that would be staying until she got back. Since Oliver had told her that he would look after the house while she was gone.

The next morning she met Oliver in the driveway and put her bags in the car. He drove her to the academy where see would be spending the next four months. She hugged Oliver bye and told him that she would keep in touch.
