Seventeen months and her marriage was already going down the tubes; Haley sighed and looked around her empty house, it seemed so dark and empty over the past few months with Wade gone on the road or shooting different movies in different countries. She used to be so excited when he would come home for a few days, most of the time they'd never leave the bedroom; but now she was lucky if she saw him for about an hour before he disappeared into his office for the rest of the day only to surface to go to bed.

Haley rotated the wedding band on her left hand and started up the stairs to the bedroom when there was a knock at her front door, she wondered who would be visiting her at such a late hour. She opened the door and who stood on the other side surprised her; there in his 6'5" frame, full beard, a leather jacket over a light blue t-shirt stood a man she hadn't set her eyes on since her wedding day.

"Randy…" her voice was so soft she wasn't even sure she heard it herself.

"Hi Hales…" his smooth voice spoke, his hands were buried in the pockets of his jacket and his blue eyes bore into her with such intensity.

"What are you doing here?" she asked forcing herself to speak up as she held tightly onto the doorknob on the inside of the door.

A slow easy smirk spread across his lips "would you believe I was in the neighborhood?" he asked simply.

An unknowing smile pulled at her lips and she shook her head; she shivered inwardly as his eyes scanned her up and down. "No" Haley answered.

"I overheard Phil and Taylor talking about your situation with Wade and thought I'd come over and check on you, believe it or not I do still care about you even though you married Wade" he explained, taking a hand and running it over his buzzed hair.

She leaned her shoulder against the door "a pity visit huh, no thanks Orton" she went to shut the door but his hand stopped it and he moved inside; she backed up slightly but her back touched the wall and she silently cursed herself.

"This isn't a pity visit Haley and you know it" Randy said, his body so close to hers that she could smell his body wash and feel the heat radiating off his body.

Mustering up as much strength as she could Haley pushed him back a step and put space in between them "Then what the hell is it then? I don't need you here to rub my back and tell me its going to get better"

"I know that Haley! Your one of the strongest people I know and if anyone can get through this its you, I'm here because I've sort of been where your at right now and I just thought you could use a friend but its obvious you don't so I'm just gonna go" Randy opened the door but Haley's small hand on his bicep stopped him.

He looked at her. "I don't think my husband is attracted to me anymore…" she spoke the words and as soon as they left her lips she felt her heart break a little more; in a matter of seconds Randy had her pressed against that same wall and his body was pressed against hers as he stared into her broken hazel orbs full of unshed tears.

"You mean how you bite your lip when your reading something or thinking hard, or how about how you tease that person your interested in without even giving them eye contact, or what about that look you get when your so damn attracted to someone but don't quite want to give in just yet" Randy whispered against her ear hotly. Haley fisted his jacket in her left hand as his hands massaged the soft flesh of her midsection. "Because I find all that attractive about you Hales…"

"I- I think you should go Randy, Wade could come home at any moment and I don't think he'd want to see you in his house with his wife" Haley said, even though deep down she didn't want him to leave at all, she wanted more than anything for him to stay.

"I'll go Hales; but just know that if you need me you know where I'm at" he told her, kissed her cheek and then left the house.
