Then what is happened to Until One day relgere? One day I... But I am a woman. I am a woman with Maybe... Where did these come from? I don't know. There wasn't a card. Eric. Yes? Mind if I interrupt? No, Margo. Come in. Here's the sketches I borrowed. Oh, put them on the table there with the others, will you? Margo. Are you busy? Do you have a minute? Sure. I find myself in a strange predicament. Well, what is it? I'm going through something and I really need someone to talk to. Well, you can always talk to me, you know that? Ooh, this is a little awkward. Eric, you don't have to feel awkward with me. No, I don't, do I? Margo, there's a woman. A woman younger than myself. Eric. Come on now, this has happened so suddenly I feel like my emotions are running away with me. Oh, that's when it's the very best. Well, yes, but I really have no idea how she feels about me. I can't assume that she feels anything except maybe sympathy. Sympathy? For what I'm going through with Stephanie. What are you going through with Stephanie? You know you don't owe that woman a thing. Well, it's really not a question of what I owe her. The fact is, I don't love her. Eric, you've never loved her. I've been telling you that for years. You've stayed with her out of loyalty and obligation. Never out of love. I can't live with her any longer. Because of the things she's done, but also because I'm having feelings for someone else. Feelings that are so different from anything I ever felt for Stephanie. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Anything I ever felt for Stephanie. Tough life, isn't it? The worst. I just hope we don't weaken under all this stress. You know what they say, the first month of marriage is the hardest. And the adjustments. The lack of familiarity. You know, the pressure that you put yourself under as a man to perform. Those unreasonably high expectations, don't forget those. Or I won't. That's to mention it's quite a changing lifestyle for you, Rich. That's a biggie. That is a biggie. Want some wine? Sure. How about a grape? Yep. A hell of a way to start out. I'm surprised we're even still talking to each other. There's got to be a better way, Rich. There's got to be a better way, Rich. Mm-hmm. Well, I suppose that we could make love again. I think it'd be a good idea. It might be healthy for the relationship. Keep up our strength. The Bold and the Beautiful. This portion is sponsored by Nabisco Shredded Wheat. No added sugar.

And Peggy moved too. Colgate Plus, the odd-looking, super-cleaning, comfy-feeling toothbrush. That's who they're from. It's gotta be. Yes, they're from Eric. I called him to make sure. He's falling for you, Brooke. Dahlina, he's interested. Come on, a man doesn't send you two dozen roses unless he feels that tingly feeling inside. What if he's feeling guilt inside? No, it's more than guilt. These roses are way too beautiful. You're much more romantic than I am. So you do admit that there could be a romance between you two? No, I didn't say that. Why not say that? You deserve someone like Eric, Brooke, a lot more than Stephanie does, as a matter of fact. Okay, what if I believe that? What if I throw myself into this like you have and fall head over heels in love? You know, I just got through a horribly painful breakup, and I'm very vulnerable to this. So I go crazy and I give my heart away to Eric, only to find out that this married man who lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills, whose name is known all over the world, and who can have any woman he wants, was just being his usual classy, sensitive self when he sent me those roses. That he wasn't even remotely in love with me, but he just needed a friend or somebody to confide in because he was having trouble with his wife. No, Donna, I just can't take that chance. Ridge hurt me worse than I've ever been hurt. And I'm not. I'm not. I'm not ready for another emotional disaster. Brooke, this isn't going to be another emotional disaster. I feel good about this. And when I get those feelings, I'm usually right. Check out the lady. I'm trying to decide between a Napa Valley Chardonnay or Pouille-Ferce. Well, I don't know what the occasion is, but it sure feels French to me. Oh, well, the occasion is a magnificent, intimate dinner. For two, I take it? I was going to take Eric out for dinner, but I'm not going to take him out for dinner. I'm going to take Eric out for dinner. For two, I take it? I was going to take Eric to the club, because the private dining room is so romantic. And then I got to thinking, no, the real intimacy is right here. So you'll be eating here? Yes. What about Felicia? Oh, no, I took her out for the night. Oh, well, that's a coincidence. I'm gone, too. Good. You know what I realized this afternoon? What? In all the years that we've lived in this house, your father and I have rarely had a romantic, intimate dinner, just the two of us. Oh, Mother, this sounds serious. Horn, I want you and your piano playing fingers out of here before your father comes home. Okay. What time is he expected back? I don't know, because this is an S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E. He doesn't know? No, but he will soon enough. Mother, call him. I am so happy for you. You're in love. Well, let's not go overboard. Oh, well, it certainly seems that way to me. It's a wonderful feeling. I want to know that. But I must confess, Eric Forrester may be in a bit over his head. Because of high cholesterol, one out of four adults is gambling with heart disease. One out of four.

Anyway, it's after six, the whole night shot. We might as well spend the rest of the night in bed. Hmm, okay. No, wait a minute. You're gonna take me to a movie. Does Nina have to get dressed? I don't think they'd let you in the theater naked. So what do you want to see? I don't care. Anything. Just as long as we're off the premises by the time your father gets home. Your mom has something special planned for him tonight. Oh, yes. I forgot. Oh, did you talk to her? This afternoon. Oh, what's wrong? Is everything okay? It's all right. It's just something she said to me. Do you know that Brooke was at our wedding? Brooke was at our wedding? Yeah, Mother saw her there and confronted her about it. I'm sure glad I didn't see her. Apparently it was pretty ugly. I went to see Brooke about it today. How is she? Surprisingly well. She has a man in her life. That doesn't surprise me. Give her two dozen roses without a card. Well, I think that's very lovely for her. Yeah, I guess it is. I just hope he treats her better than I did. How can you say you're in over your head? Margo, I really have no reason to believe that this woman cares about me beyond being decent. You mean? Well, obviously I don't know the situation, but... ...but my hunch is you're underestimating your impact on me. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. But my hunch is you're underestimating your impact on this lady. I don't know. You really are becoming involved with her, aren't you? I am having feelings, significant feelings, but as to where this is all leading... Oh, Eric, forget where it's leading. Just enjoy it. New love is such a powerful, potent concoction. Just drink of it, savor every wonderful moment, regardless of where it leads. Well, you're very persuasive, aren't you? If a bit overly romantic. You know, this is wonderful for you. This is what you've been missing. You're right about that. It's the one thing I'm lacking in my life. Not anymore. So when do you see this lady next? Tonight. We're having dinner. Oh. Eric, this is wonderful. Come here. Oh. Why would I call him? Well, how do you know he's coming home? Because he always comes home. Well, I would still call him, Mother. But then I'll ruin the surprise. Well, how do you know he doesn't have plans after work? Do you know something that I don't know? No. All I know, Mother, is Dad has been a very busy man in the last couple of days. He took time off when you were in the hospital, and he may be making up that time tonight. That's all. You're acting so strangely about this. Mother, I want tonight to be as wonderful and romantic a night as you do. But you need Dad for that. So let's make sure he shows up. He's calling. I've got to get out of here. I still have to change. Where are you going? Out. Donna, thanks for the encouragement. But I still think your way of thinking is dangerous. Brooke, wait! Who are you going out with? Derek. Yes! Yes! I've got a what? A brush. I really do. It's inconceivable. How can I possibly have a cavity? If your little kid has a cavity, we've got news for you.

Well, I wondered when you'd be coming home. Actually, I'm not coming home until later. How much later? I can't really be sure. Oh, is that kind of a day? Yes, yes, that kind of a day. Well, go ahead and work. Was there something specific? No, we'll wait until another time. I love you. I'll see you later. Smashing. I thought you left. No, he's not involved. He sends you roses, keeps you out for dinner. It's unreal, isn't it? Not for you, it's not Brooke. Oh, this is exactly how things should be. I'll see you later.
