~TONI'S POV~

NXT again. I was set to watch a match between Dakota Kai and Kacy Catanzaro, who would be accompanied by Kayden Carter, while Wren was set to fight Adam Cole, as Connor wrestled Bobby Roode, and WALTER took on Tyler Bate.

Seemed like they were gonna run the gauntlet for the three champs.

Wren and I got out of our car, and he had his usual focus on. He'd almost entirely abandoned the tired schtick and turned it into focus of some kind. He twirled his wrist, and I walked over to his side of the car.

"You're gonna do great tonight hon." I told him with a smile, but he didn't even look at me, just nodded, which made me feel...strange.

We walked further into the building, and saw a bunch of people all around, like Leon Ruff, Isaiah Scott, Gargano, there were a lot of people.

One person we didn't see though was Catrin, which seemed to cost Wren some focus. I put a hand on his shoulder, so he gave me a quick look.

"Hey...I'm sure she's okay..." I told him, so he immediately looked back forward. We sat down in the locker room, where he got changed into his wrestling gear, which...had changed a little. The tights I mentioned in the second chapter were now all ripped up, his hair was no longer tied at all, and he no longer wore kickpads.

"You sure that'll be okay? I mean...the kickpads make it safe..." I asked him, so he looked over at me in slight confusion.

"I know what I'm doing." He said softly, so I nodded a little, not wanting to poke the bear more.

As we were limbering up for our segments, Wren got a call. His phone was in his bag though, which was near me.

"I'll get it!" I told him, so he nodded at me with a small smile, which made me feel nice. I fished the phone out of his bag, and noticed the number was unfamiliar.

"Huh...you don't know this one..." I told him, so he looked confused. I decided to answer it anyway.

"Hello, Wren Walters' phone?" I answered, and immediately heard a familiar voice.

"Toni? Why are you on Wren's phone?" I hear the voice of Catrin ask me. My eyes immediately went wide and looked straight at Wren, who looked confused.

"C-Cat! It's you!" I shouted with a smile. Wren immediately paid attention and quickly walked over to me, almost wanting to hear what was going on.

"I-Is Wren there?" She asked me nervously, so I looked up at Wren, who nodded and held his hand out.

"Yeah, here." I told her, then handed the phone over to Wren, who immediately smiled for...one of the first times in a week.

He spoke with her for a while, and I couldn't help but smile and watch it all unfold. I only got half of the conversation, but I got the gist.

She'd changed her phone number because Connor kept calling her, and was now laying low elsewhere. She wasn't mad at Wren, but she didn't want him to know where she was so she could spend some time alone.

After a while, he hung up and threw his phone back in his bag, which surprised me a little. His accuracy was...surprising to say the least.

"How is she?" I asked him, so he looked at me with slight surprise.

"...yeah, she's good..." He told me, so I smiled a bit. He smiled too, and cracked his neck a bit.

"Shouldn't you be out on the stage right now?" He asked me, so my eyes widened and I looked at the closest camera, seeing Dakota finishing her entrance, with that dumb shiny jacket of hers.
