320
00:17:23,275 --> 00:17:26,478
to stay, Steffy.
Look, I know that we've had our
321
00:17:26,545 --> 00:17:29,848
differences in our past, and
some of them have been
322
00:17:29,915 --> 00:17:33,085
pretty intense, but we are not
those people anymore.
323
00:17:33,152 --> 00:17:37,523
We've grown and we've matured.
I mean, you have two beautiful
324
00:17:37,589 --> 00:17:41,293
children and-and a company to
run.
325
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:44,329
Which I think I could really
contribute to if we could
326
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:48,634
just...
if we could just work together.

>> Carter: This could be the
first step for Forrester,
328
00:17:51,170 --> 00:17:55,040
Steffy.
We can take this company beyond
329
00:17:55,107 --> 00:17:58,477
anything we've ever dreamed of.
But you gotta start thinking
330
00:17:58,544 --> 00:18:00,746
bigger.
Stop threatening to cut
331
00:18:00,813 --> 00:18:02,915
Hope for the Future and look for
a place where we can expand,
332
00:18:02,981 --> 00:18:06,819
where we can grow, where we can
take this company.
333
00:18:06,885 --> 00:18:12,624
Say yes to Ivy.
Say yes to the jewelry line.
