Ridge Breaks Taylor’s Heart

Taylor gently reassures Ridge that their love has always brought them back together, even when things were hard. She thinks about how Stephanie was always there for them, even when their relationship was hard. Taylor says that a health scare has helped her realize how much she still loves Ridge.

She thinks they should go ahead. She even suggests getting married the next day. Taylor asks Ridge to dance later when the music starts. She tells him how good it feels to be with him while they dance and says they don't need a big wedding to prove anything. Ridge makes fun of her desire for a small wedding because he can't dance.

Ridge's feelings change as they keep dancing. He remembers the times he spent with Brooke, like when he saved her and when they kissed. He tells Taylor that, despite loving her, he can't marry her because it will hurt her again.

Thomas Requests Eric to Support Taylor
