What Brett didn't convey well to Hayden is that Hayden is his reprieve/oasis AWAY from all of the cutthroat political machinations that he has to endure due to his upbringing and his status. He's also desperately attempting to tell himself he is NOT the victim of rape by talking about it in an extremely cold and dispassionate away, almost as if it is something he read in one of his crime cases.
The wait for season3 is going to be brutal. I really hope Hayden doesn't stay away for long, Brett NEEDs his support or he is going to break.
