That was best for our son? >> Thomas didn't turn you down.
You rejected him. >> Hope: Because marriage
is a big step. One that people shouldn't
take lightly. >> Steffy: Thomas knows exactly
what he is doing. He is engaged to
a wonderful woman. A woman who Douglas adores.
I am so thrilled for you. You deserve this.
You found a woman who truly loves you.
So go with Paris. Step into the future
and leave Hope in the past where she belongs.
