Hey, remember you said you were

you said hello to your family?

a chance to talk to

173
00:09:34,006 --> 00:09:37,109
your aunt and grandpa.
>> Douglas: I'm so glad

>> Ridge: Me too.

175

>> Douglas: Okay.

176

Wow.

guys have a lot of questions.

178
00:09:51,824 --> 00:09:53,259

Paris were a couple.

183

184

Thomas wanted to tell you all

185
00:10:04,537 --> 00:10:06,272
in person.
>> Ridge: How long

186
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:08,607
have you guys been dating?
>> Paris: We reconnected shortly

187
00:10:08,674 --> 00:10:10,609
after Douglas and Thomas
moved to Paris and we've

188
00:10:10,676 --> 00:10:13,846
been together ever since.
>> Ridge: I-- I saw him

189
00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:15,481
over there.
He didn't mention anything

190
00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:17,149
about any of this.
>> Paris: Yeah, well,

191
00:10:17,216 --> 00:10:19,352
he wanted to
enjoy his time with you.

192
00:10:19,418 --> 00:10:22,989
He wasn't sure how you'd react
after, you know, knowing

193
00:10:23,055 --> 00:10:25,958
how fast things have been going.
Especially after leaving Hope.

194
00:10:26,025 --> 00:10:29,628
But Thomas and I,
we bonded over our commitment to

195
00:10:29,695 --> 00:10:32,298
improving ourselves,
and the world

196
00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:35,368
as much as we can.
I dedicated my life to

197
00:10:35,434 --> 00:10:38,104
non-profit work, expanding
the Forrester Foundation

198
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:41,340
globally, and Thomas,
he's focusing on being the best

199
00:10:41,407 --> 00:10:45,878
designer and father to Douglas.
Thomas' first few weeks in Paris

200
00:10:45,945 --> 00:10:50,316
were a little sad and lonely.
He didn't have

201
00:10:50,383 --> 00:10:52,952
that spark I remembered.
Except for when

202
00:10:53,019 --> 00:10:56,322
he was with Douglas.
At first, I was just

203
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:58,824
trying to cheer them up.
>> Ridge: Well,

204
00:10:58,891 --> 00:11:00,893
I appreciate that.
>> Paris: Yeah, I couldn't let

205
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,262
your son go through another dark
chapter in his life.

206
00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:06,098
He's gone through a lot worse
than a little rejection.

207
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:10,669
And I saw how strong he was.
And how-- how beautiful he is

208
00:11:10,736 --> 00:11:12,805
and I knew he could
depend on me.

209
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:15,608
And over time,
we just formed this bond.

210
00:11:15,674 --> 00:11:22,915
This profound connection.
I love Thomas.

211
00:11:22,982 --> 00:11:29,555
And I know he really loves me.
>> Hope: I know I hurt you

212
00:11:29,622 --> 00:11:38,664

And I am sorry, Thomas.

213
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:41,033
But that didn't mean
that I stopped loving you.

214
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:43,936

that I wanted you to leave.

You ran. You could have stayed.

>> Thomas: You said no.

You didn't want to marry me.
>> Hope: You know that

I needed time.
And now, you--

You're already engaged?
>> Thomas: And it's not just

221
00:12:03,823 --> 00:12:05,558
some random person.
This is someone I've known

222

on so quickly with someone else
