Zoey bounded back into the house with her new teddy bear. Randy was sitting in the den when they arrived.

"Daddy, I got a new bear" Zoey said climbing into his lap.

"Yea, he looks like the other one".

"Yup, and I'm calling him Randy too, just like the other one".

Auden walked into the room then, her expression neutral.

"Here you go" Auden said handing him his keys.

"So how'd everything go? " Randy asked taking his keys.

"Oh it was definitely… enlightening" She responded. " Listen, Randy can I talk to you alone".

"Um…sure".

He sat Zoey down on the couch and stood up. Zoey picked up the remote and flipped through the channels. Auden led him upstairs where they were out of earshot of Zoey. They walked into Randy's room and Auden spun around on him.

"All right, now I need the truth from you, nothing but the truth" Auden said tears brimming in her eyes.

"What? What's wrong? " Randy asked.

"Don't play dumb with me. Zoey told me everything. Nice to know you really care" Auden spat as the tears began to fall.

"I do care Auden. What has Zoey told you? ".

"How you really feel. She was so upset. Am I really just good for the sex Randy" She demanded to know".

"What! Its not like that Auden".

Randy frowned, what the hell could Zoey have told her. Whatever it was, it was completely false. He watched as Auden picked up a suitcase and began flinging clothes into it.

"What are you doing? ".

"I'm going back to Georgia. I'm getting on with my life".

"Auden, whatever Zoey told you was not true".

"And why would she lie? " Auden asked.

Randy stopped, he really didn't have an answer for that, but he sure as hell was going to find out.

Auden closed her suitcase and began to walk to the door. Randy couldn't let this happen, he was not about to let her walk out of his life.

Randy got between her and the door.

"Move Randy" She said tears still falling.

"No! ".

"Get the hell out of the way" She seethed.

If only she could find something to hit him with.

Randy took her suitcase from her hands and threw it back onto the bed.

"Damn it Auden" Randy said taking her face in his hands and crashing his lips onto hers.

Auden tried pounding on him with her fists but realized it was no good and eventually stopped. His lips were so sweet. He stopped the kiss and stared at her intensely,

"Now do you get it, I love the hell out of you Auden. It's not just about a romp in the sack. It's more than that. If it was only sex, you wouldn't still be here" Randy explained.

Auden broke into a sob. She didn't know what to think. She loved him too, but to think it was only about the physical aspect, it would surely break her heart. And what about Zoey, she seemed so upset.

"I'm confused" Auden said pulling back.

"There's nothing to be confused about Auden, I love you".

"Not about that anymore, about Zoey. Why would she say those things and then seem so upset like it was really sure".

"A lot of things are going on with Zoey that I don't understand just yet, but I'll be getting to the bottom of it".

Auden wiped at her eyes, she felt so silly now. She loved Zoey like her own; and didn't get why she would lie like that.

"I'm sorry, I was just so sure she was telling the truth" Auden apologized.

Randy kissed her forehead.

"No need to apologize. It's not your fault, you were fooled by a good drama queen" Randy replied.

"What do we do about Zoey? " Auden asked.

Randy turned from her and headed for the door with the intentions to get to the bottom of it..

"Don't worry about Zoey, She definitely will be taken care of".

Auden didn't like the tone of his voice. She lied but she hoped he wasn't too hard on her.
