Houston TX
Back at the hotel, Autumn was packing her things as quickly as she could. Why did Randy insist on being married? And why was she so against it? She had witnessed her father go through three divorces and she wasn't about to follow in those footsteps. And when would they get to spend any time together? They barely saw each other as it was. Add the pressure of marriage and it was sure to spell disaster. Why couldn't he be satisfied with the way things were? Audi was putting the last of her things in the suitcase, when there was a knock on the door. She panicked and waited for whoever it was to go away. Another few minutes of knocking and the person left. Zipping up her bags, she grabbed her keys and opened the door and got the shock of her life.
"Rob, what are you doing here?" He was standing there, with a bouquet of roses. He was really the last person she wanted to see, but at the same time he was the relief she needed. Thinking of how safe she felt in his arms, she dropped her bags and reached for him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest. Rob hugged her tight. "Hey sweetheart. I just couldn't leave things like we did. What's wrong?"
"Oh Rob, everything is wrong, yet nothing is really wrong. I just have a lot on my mind."
Rob held her close and rubbed his hand up and down her back. "Everything will be ok. Don't worry, we will sort things out."
"You just don't understand Rob. Hell, I don't even understand." Autumn had finally reached her breaking point, and the tears came. She cried and cried as Rob held her. He just let her get it all out of her system. After she cried her last tear, she was exhausted. Looking up at Rob, with tears still streaming down her face, she kissed him.
After she kissed Rob at her hotel, had went inside and talked. She explained everything to him. Her fear of marriage, her love for Randy and her feelings for him. Rob listened intently as she poured her heart out. They stayed up most of the night revealing their feelings for each other and talking about what they should do. Rob totally respected Autumn and her feelings for Randy. What was he to do? He couldn't come between them. His heart was telling him to go for it, but his mind warned him to stay out of the way. If it was meant to be it would be. They fell asleep in each others arms.

Dallas TX
Randy walked the halls of the arena in Dallas looking for Autumn. He knew he should call Bischoff and tell him that he wasn't going to be at Raw tonight, but he had to see her first. He knew he was putting his career in jeopardy, but he had to find out what the hell was going on with his fiancé. He spotted her standing outside the women's locker room. She was on her way to the gorilla position, when she saw Randy walking straight towards her. What the hell?
"Ran! What are you doing here?"
Not taking time to answer, he leaned down and kissed her passionately. Taking a step back, she looked up at him. "What's with you Ran?"
"Audi, Dawn told me about you and Rob. I know you went to him after you left me sitting at the restaurant, looking like an idiot! I came here to show you what you'll be missing." He reached up and snatched the gold chain off his neck and threw it on the floor. It was the one Audi had bought him last Christmas, Ran never took it off. "I'm through being made a fool of Autumn. I'm through being your fool!" Randy turned and walked off. Leaving Autumn standing there in complete shock.
