The weeks passed quickly and I was beginning to get used to the fact that Terry and I were going to be partners again. I still wasn't quite sure what to make of the whole situation, but I was getting used to it.
We were on a three-day break and I sat at my apartment, alone as usual, watching TV when the phone wrung.
" Hello." I said.
" Hi." The voice on the other end said. I'd recognize that voice anywhere.
" Hi Terry." I said, taking a deep breath.
" How have you been Thora?" he asked. I could tell he was just as nervous as I was.
" Oh, I'm good." I said.
" That's good. You took a hell of a bump on the last Smackdown." He said.
" Yeah, but I'm okay, you know me." I said.
" That's good. I can't have a bruised up partner." He said, trying to lighten the mood.
" That wouldn't be very good would it?" I said, kind of chuckling. Boy, talk about awkward.
" Well, um, Vince said that we should at least talk before we see each other on Monday night." He said.
" Oh, yeah..that probably is a good idea." I said. " Um..so..what have you been up to lately?" I asked.
" Oh, not too much. Just mainly rehabbing. You?"
" Not too much here. Just writing, and wrestling and sleeping." I said.
" Jay says you pick on him pretty bad." He said. I laughed.
" Nothing he doesn't have coming to him anyway." I said, still chuckling. Terry laughed and sighed.
" It's good to hear you laugh again." He said. I sighed and looked at my lap.
" Terry, I." I said, struggling with the words. " I don't think we can ever go back to the way we were." I said. There was a silence from across the line and wasn't sure what to say.
" I guessed you'd say that." He said quietly.
" I'm sorry, but I just can't...I've got to go now. I'll see you Monday." I said, hanging up the phone. I lied down on the couch and looked up at the ceiling. " I can't believe I still love you."
