327
00:16:53,746 --> 00:16:55,914
And I really do believe
that he is going to end up

328
00:16:55,981 --> 00:16:58,784
exactly where he belongs.
>> Brooke: Yeah.

329
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:00,953
At home.
With Hope, and Liam and Beth.

330
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:02,988
>> Ridge: Oh. We are really
making progress here.

331
00:17:03,055 --> 00:17:04,923
Let's do something that
we can all agree on.

332
00:17:04,990 --> 00:17:07,326
You guys hit the showers,
you know where they are.

333
00:17:07,393 --> 00:17:08,927
>> Taylor: I think that's
a good idea.

334
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:11,263
>> Ridge: This is silly.
>> Taylor: I know, I know.

335
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:13,899
>> Brooke: A shower sounds
like a good idea.

336
00:17:13,966 --> 00:17:18,804
But, I have
an even better idea.

337
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:23,242
>> Ridge: What?
>> Brooke: I shower with you.

338
00:17:23,308 --> 00:17:25,978
[ Brooke laughing ]
[ Ridge laughing ]

339
00:17:26,044 --> 00:17:31,049
You care to join me? Hm?
>> Ridge: Hm.

340
00:17:31,116 --> 00:17:33,786
>> Brooke: Oh. Oops.
[ Ridge sighing ]

341
00:17:33,852 --> 00:17:37,990
[ Brooke laughing ]
>> Ridge: That's funny.

342
00:17:38,056 --> 00:17:42,094
>> Brooke: Oh.
Look...

343
00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:49,668
Ridge.
I know you're feeling

344
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:53,672
a little caught between us
in this situation

345
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:57,976
with Douglas, but just know
one thing.

346
00:17:58,043 --> 00:18:02,881
That I love you,
and you love me.

347
00:18:02,948 --> 00:18:07,386
And there's nothing,
or no one that will ever

348
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:12,191
come between us.
Right?

349
00:18:12,257 --> 00:18:17,262
>> Ridge: Mm-hm.
