AJ doesn't talk as the wheels turn in her mind.

I took this break to settle down. I've been ruling that division with an iron fist and I really wanted to give the other Divas a chance. But... I do miss being out there. The fans, not really caring about the politics of WWE, just doing what I love.

"April? What's going on in that head of yours?" Nicole snaps AJ out of her reverie.

"Why do you want me back in the ring..?"

"Simple." Nicole shrugs, "I miss you out there. You're leading this division somewhere and I'm happy for it. I just...miss you."

"You're with me everyday. I still travel with you guys."

"I know. It's foolish but, I miss seeing you in the ring. I fell in love with AJ Lee too."

That causes April to laugh.

"In that case, I'll take it. But just for tonight, because I'm gonna win."

"Oh, there's this one part I forgot."

"Which is?"

"It's an I Quit match."

Hopping out of the shower, Roman wraps a towel his waist and another around his neck for his hair. Opening the door and letting the steam clear, he's shocked to find his ex in his living room.

"Raya?" Said woman looks up, smiling.

"Hey Rome! Been a while, no?"

"Y-yeah..." The Samoan doesn't know if he's blushing. "You uh..you look beautiful." That earns him another smile from her.

"Me? Oh please, I just threw this on to come talk to you." Paige says from the couch, watching Roman as he grabs his different clothing to get dressed.

"What's up?"

"You and Brie."

He freezes. His heart starts to thump wildly against his chest.

"What about..it?"

"Please. You know she's married Joe."

"I know." Roman pulls his boxers up underneath his towel, dropping the linen. He next grabs his sweatpants, pulling those up too.

"Then why are you still hung up on her?"

"...I don't know alright?"

Paige sighs, standing and wrapping her arms around her ex's waist.

"I'm concerned for you. I don't want you going down the same road I was down." (Referring to once having loved AJ while AJ was both married and in a relationship with Nicole.)

"I know."

"Then do better Joe. This doesn't have a good outcome. No one walks away from these type of things happy."

"You and AJ did."

"After a long time. We went through our struggles, and it takes a while to deal with the emotional and mental scars."

"I know." He sighs, his hand habitually stroking Saraya's black and blue locks. Reminiscing feelings arise between the two.

He remembers how they used to hug like this, no words needed to explain anything. Her hands would playfully rub his hips, getting mischievous if she wanted something a little more than just plain skinship. Both of his arms would be around her neck, effectively nuzzling her head into his chest as he played with her hair.
