if I'd go that far.

351
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:47,172
But I definitely feel--
feel different.

352
00:16:47,239 --> 00:16:51,276
I mean, this-this whole thing
really shook me up.

353
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:53,979
I thought I was dying.

354
00:16:54,046 --> 00:16:56,248
I came back to LA
to be with my family

355
00:16:56,315 --> 00:16:59,251
and the people I love,
I thought, to say goodbye.

356
00:16:59,318 --> 00:17:00,886
Thankfully, I didn't have to.

357
00:17:00,953 --> 00:17:03,355
And we're all very grateful
for that.

358
00:17:03,422 --> 00:17:06,058
No one's more grateful
than I am.

359
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:07,893
Especially to Ridge.

360
00:17:09,795 --> 00:17:12,631
He made me fight
and get answers.

361
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:15,701
He wanted me to get answers,
and he was right there with me.

362
00:17:15,768 --> 00:17:18,203
In my first appointment
with my cardiologist, Grace,

363
00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:20,873
and then he set up
this whole thing with Shandra,

364
00:17:20,939 --> 00:17:23,609
making me see that I needed
an alternative kind of healing

365
00:17:23,675 --> 00:17:25,377
that led to my breakthrough.

366
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:29,448
And now, I-I finally let go
of all the things

367
00:17:29,515 --> 00:17:32,551
that were-that were
making me ill.

368
00:17:32,618 --> 00:17:35,287
Ridge gave me strength

369
00:17:35,354 --> 00:17:39,658
and the courage
to connect with my heart.

370
00:17:42,194 --> 00:17:43,929
That's great, really.

371
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:47,466
I mean, it's-it's amazing.

372
00:17:47,533 --> 00:17:51,470
But when you talk about
connecting with your heart,

373
00:17:51,537 --> 00:17:54,006
what does that have to do
with Ridge?

374
00:17:55,808 --> 00:17:58,377
You know what I'm asking,
Taylor.

375
00:17:59,945 --> 00:18:02,047
Are you in love with him?

376
00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:07,486
Do you still want Ridge?

377
00:18:09,388 --> 00:18:10,622
[small laugh]

378
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:13,792
[dramatic music plays]

379
00:18:23,469 --> 00:18:26,472
