The inevitable

Jack and Brooke are eating lunch in il Giardino. 

Jack: I was so happy that you called me.

Brooke: Get used to it. I will call you often.

Jack: That's what I want.

Brooke: I know Taylor came to see you.

Jack: Yes... I didn't even have a photo of her so I didn't know how she looked like... When she told me her name... I realized. 

Brooke: You know that me and Taylor aren't exactly... Friends.

Jack: Is it really bad between you two?

Brooke: Well I am married to her ex husband that she still wants so imagine that.

Jack: And you were also both involved with Dad?

Brooke: Once upon a time...

Jack: So you shared two men...

Brooke: Not only two... 

Jack: Uhmm... Okay. Well maybe I don't want to know all the stories.

Brooke laughs.

Brooke: No... You don't.

Jack: Ignorance is bliss.

Brooke: Yes.

Jack: I just hope that you two won't argue. I want you both in my life. Would hate to see you constantly at odds.

Brooke looks worried. 

Next scene: Taylor and Ridge talk at FC.

Taylor: I'm so happy that I've catched you alone. 

Ridge: Brooke can be back any minute. She just left for lunch.

Taylor: Well... Let's hope that she won't be back that soon.

Ridge: Is there anything you want to talk about?

Taylor: I want to ask you about Thomas... You had more contact with him these last months... Do you think that he is better now?

Ridge: Most definitely.

Taylor: What do you think about his relationship with Sally?

Ridge: As long as he is not obsessed with Hope I am fine with any other girl that he might like. 

Taylor: You once told me that you are no a big fan of Sally Spectra.

Ridge: Now it changed. She helped our son when he was in trouble. 

Taylor: But you would rather see him with the woman he has a child with... Right?

Ridge looks at Taylor and wonders about it.

Jack: Hi Sally.

Sally: What are you doing here? RJ could see you... 

Jack: I was with my Mom at il giardino. 

Sally: Okay, but did you have to walk inside Forrester Creations?

Sally: Why?

Jack: You are nice to look at. I'm leaving now. See you around. 

Jack leaves and Sally smiles and shakes her head.

Sally: He is crazy.
