Summary: After, "Don't take me for Granted"; a simple phone call can change everything.

Teaser:

All of her instincts were screaming at her, telling her to go back home to Nathan, but her feet wouldn't listen, they had a mind of their own. So here she was at the train station talking to Chris Keller who was one of the main reasons her marriage was falling apart, and her mind kept betraying her, replaying Chris' kiss and little lecture that landed her here in the first place. "I was on my way home to Nathan and I found myself here." Haley could hear herself speaking, but it was as though she was outside her body, not speaking the words' herself. He looked at her in surprise and handed her the ticket, knowing that he was going to see her, which brought a hint of a smile to his face, soon to be hidden by one of his trademark smirks. Haley's brain didn't seem to be functioning as she accepted the ticket Chris had given her and taking her place next to him in line. The ringing of a phone broke the silence surrounding them as they were about to board the train, and Haley went to answer her phone before quickly realizing it wasn't her. Chris picked up his phone trying to figure that else had his number before picking it up, "Hello…. Hello." Haley, not being the one to eavesdrop got so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even realize when Chris threw down his ticket, swore and muttered under his breath, "Kira."
