|Flashback|
In response to his knock on the door of the Bishop-DeLuca household, the smiling Italian responded."Ciao, Ryan."
"Ciao, Bella," her guest responded. "Is Bishop home?"
"Come in; I will get her."
"Tanner. What 'up?"
Lowering his voice, the handsome policeman confided "Think back to the party at your rental home--for Herrera's medal? I asked you how long she and Sullivan had been gettin' close and you said..."
"Um; ah...that it had been a few weeks, I think?" she guessed. Tanner replied, "Right; yeah yeah--uh, I'm gonna confront her..."
"WHOA...um; I dunno about that...maybe not, T."
"Someone's gotta stop this--this cycle of enabling her bad behavior and glossing over her bullshit."
Maya cautioned "Don't say I didn't warn you; I love her but Andy can be a meaaaan and vindictive bitch when anyone calls out on her bullshit: YOU should know."
"Thanks for talking with me," and he excused himself...

Carina joined her then. "What was all of that about, Bella?" she asked, linking one arm around her lover.
"Andy and Sullivan."
"Ah; I could see that occurring from Palermo; it was so obvious."
"Hm. I never did until that party--I was distracted by YOU probably because I was CLUELESS until I picked up on her 'tells' that night: the head tilted to the left; the little nose crinkle and forehead dimple...one hip cocked toward him in profile...mmm", and she bit her lower lip.
Carina grinned evilly and purred "She is quite sexy; to the bedroom with you."

|The Herrera Home (where Andy grew Up)|
"How long?"
"What--' how long' WHAT?"
Tanner scoffed and rolled his eyes. "You haven't changed a bit, ya know that?! You know what the fuck I'm talking about--just SAY IT; be honest
Andy snapped: "Say what you mean or LEAVE--and don't fucking yell at me!"
"Sullivan--the black guy; your boss?! How long have you been screwing him?!"
"Real nice, Tanner--' the black guy'? And it's none of your business!"
"I know your playbook inside and out HERRERA : it won't work on me anymore; the deflecting the double-speak...the blowing smoke up my ass; everything except telling the truth about whatever DIRT you've been up to--are you fucking him or not?"
Andy spat "I don't have an obligation to tell you SHIT but since you keep pushing here it is: YES! And he doesn't have to SHARE the way someone I could name did!"
Ryan sneered "You're proud of that, huh? Deceiving me and Gibson, aren't you?"
Softening a bit Andy said "NO...at least not I'm NOT NOW...before I admit that my actions were based on me and MY wants and needs ; and I really regret that--pitting you and Gibson against one another was a shitty thing for me to do. Now...well; you know."
Eyeing her levelly, Tanner remarked "I guess I do. I guess I always knew that I wasn't enough; the triangle," He shared bitterly. "I'm--gonna go. Good luck with that."
------------------
Over a late dinner at Sullivan's, the couple discussed several topics, including Tanner's visit: "Why were you at your Dad's again?"
"Feeding the fish and birds; taking in the mail and newspapers...don't you remember?"
"Right. What was his demeanor?" Robert asked, chewing a mouthful of vegetables.
"Well; not real thrilled as you can imagine," Andy replied a bit sheepishly. "I told you a little about that whole mess with him and Gibson and me...that time," she ended lamely. "Don't worry about it--let's finish dinner and watch the movie that you wanted."
