Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Don't tell anyone

It's morning in Los Angeles. Liam is looking for beers.

Liam: Hey Hope... I bought beers yesterday and I can't find them. I got it for dad. It's a beer that is hard to find and dad really likes it. 

Hope: Sorry, I hid them. I'll give them to you in a moment.

Liam: Hid them? Why?

Hope:  I told you Rick has a problem. I don't want alcohol to trigger him. 

Liam: Oh God... I'm sorry. I absolutely forgot and left the beers in the living room.

Hope: Don't worry.  I saw it and took care of it. 

Liam: Losing his family really hit him hard.

Hope: What was even Maya thinking? 

Liam: Well she never told us about the cheating before...

Hope: Of course she didn't... I can get why. 

Rick appears.

Rick: I heard Maya's name. 

Hope: Sorry we were just talking...

Rick: It's ok. 

Liam: So how did you sleep? 

Rick: Fine. Thanks for asking. 

Hope: Any plans for today?

Rick: Besides work? Not really...

Hope: In the evening you Wyatt and Flo will come to see us. It will be fun.

Rick: Flo? The cousin that sold Beth?

Hope: It's more complicated than that.

Rick: You know... This whole case bugs me. Thomas being involved as well...

Hope: Rick... We are all behind it. You should forget it.

Rick: I don't see how you could forget.

Liam: We didn't...

Hope: We just try our best for everyone's sake... I mean... Douglas... He is with both of his parents... And Thomas was in the hospital, he got treatment... He is fine.

Rick: I hope that you are right... I still think that Caroline should know the story.

Hope: No... And you won't tell her anything. 

Next scene: Thomas and Caroline drink coffee on the sofa together. 

Caroline: Douglas is at school... 

Thomas: Yes I know.

Caroline: Uhmm.. You know what that means, right?

Thomas: What?

Caroline: We are alone...

Thomas: Yes. We can rest a bit.

Caroline: I didn't have resting in mind. 

Thomas: Oh.. Oh sorry... 

Caroline: You just want to sit, drink coffee and talk?

Thomas: This morning it will have to do... I didn't sleep all night and I don't think that I could perform. 

Caroline: Ok so let's talk... Soon Steffy and Finn will tie the knot. What about us?

Thomas: Sorry today is not a good day...

Caroline: I don't want to get married today...

Thomas: I mean... I don't know anything today. Don't ask me questions.
