ask her out? >> Hollis: I was thinking
about it, unless that's out of line.

Taylor is just trying to play matchmaker.

trying to stay single until Ridge comes back, or...

a fair question. Seriously. With everything she's seen
go down between us her whole life?
It's a valid concern. That's not who we are anymore.
