"Go ahead, ask Amy. She's not gonna lie to your face," Andy said sincerely, his dark eyes seeking Sharon's, but hers remained focused on his tie, lost in her own thoughts.

"I know that," she replied with a nod. And she did know. Andy was right. Amy wouldn't lie if she confronted her. Sharon was so grateful to be able to confide in him like this. It was one of the things she loved most about their relationship, and one of the things that had been lacking lately with their being so consumed by the current case. But there was nothing they could do about that right now, except keep pushing forward until it was solved.

Sharon glanced at her watch. "We should head over to electronics," she said quickly, grabbing her blazer from the back of her chair. Andy gently took it from her hands and held it open for her. Offering him a smile of thanks, she turned and reached her arms back to thread through the sleeves. Before she could move to untuck her hair from the collar, she felt Andy's warm, calloused fingers lightly brush the back of her neck, sweeping the locks over her left shoulder and sending a shiver down her spine. Involuntarily, she cocked her head to the left, exposing a long expanse of neck that Andy couldn't help but kiss softly.

"Andy…" she rasped, half-scolding and half-moaning in pleasure. She silently prayed that the murder room and hall were still empty so no one would see them.

"God I miss you, Sharon." His breath was hot against her ear as he reached his arms around her to fasten the button of her blazer.

"Andy, please," she breathed, placing her hands on his arms, pleading for him to let go of her. It's not that he was holding her very tightly at all. Physically she could break free from his embrace at any moment. It was self-control that she was currently grappling with, and she would need his help in order to regain her hold on it.

Sharon heard what sounded like a growl escape Andy's throat as he released his hold on her. Taking a deep breath, she turned and reached to smooth down his tie, but stopped herself, and abruptly tucked her hands into her pockets, thinking it would probably be best if she kept them to herself right now.

"Soon," she whispered as she brushed past him and headed toward the door, the word a gentle promise. Soon they'd be finished with this case. And soon they would have time to spend alone together again. For now though, it was back to work.

"You coming, Lieutenant?" she asked, her tone serious, but she was not able to completely contain the smile gently tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"Of course," he answered with a nod while fighting a grin of his own. He could live with soon.
