The answer is: "Will we ever get there?" Sandy asked fretfully.

When quoting somebody, quotation marks must be used to reproduce the original words. Besides, exclamation and question marks stand within the quotation marks. In this case, because the quote finishes with a question mark, it is not necessary to separate the quotation from the quote introduction with a comma.
