Just a one shot I think...I don't know yet. I just let my mind wander.

Please read & review, if you like, if you don't like.

Take care, Cheers.

It had been two months and four days since she told Luke that their relationship wasn't working. Oddly enough, after the first initial words of denial, he agreed.

At first Andy thought she just needed time alone, time to readjust to her new life. She'd been going to the Penny with Traci, spending time with Chris and Dov. She even had lunch with Gail a few times.

She thought that because Sam was no longer her training officer that maybe he would ask her out or initiate something. Nothing. The day she told him that Luke and her had broken up, all he said was "Oh?" that was it.

She had seen him at the Penny a number of times; he kept his distance. They were together almost everyday, he never mentioned that he was seeing anyone; she'd never actually seen him with anyone. It was really starting to get on her nerves.

Sitting next to him right now in the cruiser, she looked over at him. "Well what are you doing after shift? We're off tomorrow, going to the Penny?"

"Probably not." He said and glanced at her.

"Oh, why not?" She asked.

He shrugged his shoulders, "No reason to really. Shaw's off today so he won't be up there, Williams didn't mention anything about going."

"Oh, well Traci and I are going. Why don't you come up for a drink?"

Sam smiled, "What and interrupt your girl time? No that's okay, I think I'm just going to home, thanks."

"Fine," she said, "your loss." She turned to look out the passenger window and the passing scenery.

"What's your problem? You're pissed because I don't want to come up to the bar and hang out with you and Traci?"

She refused to look at him. "I'm not pissed about anything." She tried to say mildly.

"Right, well what if I said I'd try to stop up, would that be okay?"

"Sure, whatever, doesn't matter." She answered.

Sam smiled and shook his head.

That night she arrived at the Penny with Traci, she looked around. Sam was not there. He never showed that night.

They returned to work two days after that. Again she was partnered with Sam. She was angry, very angry. She stayed up at that stupid bar unto closing waiting for him. She even called his cell phone; it was shut off.

Once they were alone in the car, she couldn't help herself, she asked. "Are you seeing someone?"

He looked at her questioningly, "No."

"Oh," she thought for a moment before asking, "Well? Aren't you going to ask why I'm asking?"

"No." Was his only reply.

"Why not?"

"Why not what? What's the question?" He asked puzzled.

She groaned in frustration, "Why aren't you going to ask me, why I asked you that?"

He looked at her, lowered his brows. "Conversation with you is truly dizzying McNally."

"What's that suppose to mean? Oh never mind; stop trying to change the subject. You know what? Never mind all together." She said clearly aggravated with him now.

She sighed, quiet for a moment before she asked, "Why was your cell phone shut off?"

"My cell phone? When?"

"The other night, I tried to call you, I was at the Penny."

"The last night we worked together?"

"Yes, of course, what else would I be talking about."

"I don't know…why did you call me?"

She narrowed her eyes at him. "To see if you were coming up there."

"Oh, well I told you I would try, never said I would be there definitely. Besides you said it really didn't matter, didn't you?" He just stared straight ahead at the road. "Man, I didn't know it made that much of a difference, you said you were going up there with Traci, right?"

"Yep." She snapped.

"Then I don't know why you are so mad."

"Of course you don't." She sniffed. "You are clueless, you know that?"

"Right now…yeah I am because I can't figure out what your problem is."

"When someone, a woman, asks you out for a drink and you allude to the fact that you'll be there, you should at least show up!"

"Ok first off you were going with Traci, Second you didn't ask me out for a drink! Therefore I didn't allude to anything!" He was clearly getting angry now.

"You enjoy being difficult, don't you?" She asked.

"Oh yeah I live for these kinds of conversations with you, McNally. I live for them." He said dryly.

"Why haven't you asked me out?" She asked.

Sam pulled the car over, sighed and looked at her. "What are you talking about now?"

"I just said, why haven't you asked me out?"
