"Wow," Sharon was surprised when she walked into Andy's kitchen. Snacks, dips, and desserts were everywhere. "You went all out."

"I wasn't sure what you liked." Andy shrugged. "I figured a salad with grilled chicken strips for dinner then snacks and a movie while we waited for the New Year.

"Everything looks great." Sharon smiled turning to him. "You really didn't have to go to all this trouble."

"I know, but I figure you hadn't eaten anything since who knows when." He shrugged. Sharon could tell he was nervous for some reason. "I also doubted you would want to try and carry on much conversation after such a long day. That's why I got the movies. So we can just relax."

"That's so thoughtful." Her hand rested on his chest.

"I'm just happy you're here." He took one hand into his and wrapped his arm around her waist. He began to sway to the music.

"Why?" Sharon tilted her head up to him while her hips moved with his.

"I don't know," Andy whispered pressing his forehead against hers. "But isn't this nice."

"Yes." Sharon closed her eyes.

She felt his breath against her lips. All it would take was the slightest move and their lips would be on each other, but her stomach growled ruining the moment.

"Come on." Andy took her hand. "Our dinner is in here."

Andy led her to the dinning room where their dinner was already waiting. He pulled out her chair for her like a gentleman then set in his own.

They kept the conversation light. He filled her in on the cases they'd had and she told him stories of her vacation.

Sharon helped him clean up the dishes after they ate.

Andy made them a snack tray to enjoy while they watched the movie he'd picked out.

Andy sit it on the cushion in the middle of the couch leaving them to set apart.

She smiled at the jester, but picked it up. She set down beside him and balanced it on their laps.

"This is better." She smiled taking one crackers off the tray. "Don't you think?"

"Hold on." Andy slipped his arm around her pulling her snug against him. "Now that's better."

Sharon hummed in agreement and the movie started.

Sharon was asleep five minutes into the movie.

Andy put the snacks on the table beside him. He placed a throw pillow on his lap and let Sharon moved to lay her head on it.

He gently combed his hand through her hair while he watched the movie. Once it was over he looked down at her sleeping. She was so peaceful. He restarted the movie so he didn't disturb her by getting up to change it.
