It had been a week since Rachel's appearance in their lives. Apart from meeting Rachel that one day Aaron didn't met her and his main focus was Hayley. Keith was suddenly got too busy because of that international deal and so does Hayley. PR department of Scott Industries was working overtime for past one week for promotion of this deal. Hayley had been very busy lately that she didn't have any time to meet her mother or anybody else. Today was Sunday, her weekly off and she was standing at the departure gate of airport, her mother was going back to her home town. Hayley wanted her mother to stay for some more time because she didn't get much time to spend with her but her mother wanted to go back because of some family issues she needs to settle but she promised Hayley that she will visit her soon and with that said her mother was gone.

When Hayley reached her apartment she was exhausted finally whole week's exhaustion catching up to her now. She didn't even eat and lay down on her bed and she fell asleep in no time. She woke up with start with sound of her phone ringing. She got up from her bed constantly rubbing her eyes so that she could see screen of the mobile to get to know who was calling her. It was Rachel. 'Why is she calling me?' this was the first thing that Hayley thought while picking up her call. "Can we meet up?" Rachel said instead of h.e.l.lo. Hayley looks toward clock on her bedside and it was three in afternoon. "Where are you?" Hayley asked. Rachel said that she will send Hayley her location when Hayley received location she just freshened up and went towards the café. Café was situated near by her place so it took her only ten minutes to reach there. When Hayley entered the café she saw Rachel sitting in a corner near a window and was looking out. She was lost in her own world when Hayley approached her. Hayley caught Rachel's attention by waving her hands in front of her eyes and with that Rachel realizes that Hayley was there now.

After placing there order, Hayley asked Rachel why she wanted to meet her. First Rachel said it was just because she was feeling lonely and bored so she thought she could ask Hayley to meet up, but Hayley could see something was off. They talked about some random things but then there conversation drifted towards their love lives. Although Hayley didn't want to discuss her love life to anyone she barely knew but she could see that Rachel needs to talk to about her life very badly. Hayley was all ears, Rachel told her about her marriage being an arranged one to a man she doesn't love. She did everything that a wife would do but she wasn't able to love him, she wasn't able to give him the love that he deserved because she loves somebody else. The guy she loves was one of the best guy's in the world according to Rachel. Hayley didn't know why but when she heard Rachel describing the boy she loves Aaron's face suddenly popped up in her mind. 'What the h.e.l.l is wrong with me, why even now I am thinking about Aaron' thought Hayley. After chiding herself Hayley again focused on Rachel's story which she was still reciting.
