" Rebekaa..hey." I said, jogging into the building to catch up with her. She turned and smiled at me.
" Hi Don." she said stopping where she was. I caught up to her and looked at her.
" I need to ask you something."
" Go ahead. You can ask me anything." she said smiling.
" What was your last name when you were with ECW?" I asked. The smile left her face immediately and she took a deep breath.
" Don, now isn't the time to discuss this kind of thing. There is a lot to be told, and I don't want to do it here." she said.
" Is there something that I need to know?" I asked. " You show up all of a sudden with a new last name after all this time and now you won't even tell me why. All I want is a simple answer."
" Don, calm down. Whitman is my maiden name." she said just looking down at the ground.
" Why are you going by your maiden name?"
" Because my husband died a year and a half ago. Is that a simple enough answer for you?" she said turning and walking away from me. I stood there and just watched her walk off, and felt horrible. I should have just let it go.
Someone put their hand on my back and I jumped. I turned around to see Shane standing here.
" Another encounter with Rebekaa?" he asked.
" Yeah. Did you know her husband died?" I asked.
" No, I didn't." he said.
" He did, a year and a half ago. I asked her why her last name wasn't the same and she told me that there was a lot to be told, but I kept pressing her. Now she's upset and it's my fault." I said.
" It's weird seeing you so upset." he said. I shook my head and looked at him.
" Just seeing her has brought so many memories back. It's been a long time." I said.
" What, four years now?" Shane said. I nodded. " You think you still love her?"
" I don't think. I know." I said, looking back to where she walked off. " I just don't know if she feels the same. Like you said, it's been four years."
" You never know till you ask her Don." he said.
" I know, I just don't want to hurt her anymore." I said, turning back to Shane.
" Just talk to her. See what she has to say." he said. I nodded.
" I've already upset her enough for one day, maybe I'll see her tomorrow." I said. I just hoped that she didn't leave early.
