As Taylor entered Steffy's office, she saw Thomas and Steffy were discussing business as usual. She knew that whenever Steffy's down she buried herself in her work and that is why Taylor was worried.

"Hey Steffy and Thomas! I see you guys are hard at work as usual." said Taylor as she rests her purse on the couch. "I guess Steffy told you!" As Taylor sat in the other available chair.

"Hey Mom!" replied Steffy and Thomas in unison.

"Steffy was just filling me in on what happened and I think that you got out of that relationship just in time." replied Thomas, "So mom, what brought you to Forrester today?"

Taylor replied, "I came by to take Steffy to lunch. You can join us if you like."

Thomas answered, "Maybe another time mom. You and Steffy can have this time together and talk." As he said that his cell phone began to ring. "Excuse me guys, I have to get this." As Thomas was on his phone, Steffy was finishing up some paperwork on her laptop.

"So I make a reservation at Gordiono for lunch. We should head over there now." said Taylor as watch Steffy close her laptop and gathering her purse to head out of the office.

As Thomas was just getting off the phone. "Hey Thomas, we're heading out to lunch now. Do you want to come with us?" asked Taylor.

"Nah! You guys go ahead, I have to straighten out something in shipping." replied Thomas. "Maybe next time I will." As he gave his mom and sister a hug and they all left the office.

"Ok! See you later." said Taylor and Steffy as they head for the elevator.

20 Minutes Later 

Gordiono

As Taylor and Steffy arrived at the restaurant they were shown to their table. As they were settling down, they wait for the waiter to take their drink orders.

"So what are you going to do about the Liam and Hope situation?" asked Taylor as she took a sip of her water.

"Well, I plan to get the rest of my stuff later and move on with my life." said Steffy as she took a sip of water as the wait for their salad.

"Why not! Are you just going to let Hope have Liam?" question Taylor. "You guys were so happy together."

"Mom what's done is done. It's his decision to live a life of misery." replied Steffy as the waiter brought out their lunch.

"So why don't you want to fight for Liam?" asked Taylor as she took a bite of food.

"Because I don't want to stay with a man who loves you one minute and then pines for another woman." answered Steffy as she continued to eat her food. "You of all people should understand that mom. I don't want to go through what you went through with dad and Brooke."

"And I'm sorry for that, I didn't want you kids to experience that." replied Taylor as she rest her fork down and took a sip of her drink. "I guess I want you to be happy and I thought that Liam was the one for you."

"I didn't want to make you feel like it was your fault and your need to apologize for any of it." said Steffy. "You were a great mom and I thank you for that. I just want someone to love me for me and only me and I don't want feel like I am anybody's second choice."

"And I agree with you and you shouldn't be." answered Taylor. "And I hope my experience with your father doesn't discourage you from finding that happiness." As they finish up their lunch and were waiting for their dessert.
