PART 1...

        After Thorne has broken things off with Brooke,and is now married to Macy, he realizes that he still loves Brooke very deeply. Meanwhile, Brooke is in her office, crying, saying that she will never forgive Eric, Ridge and Taylor for what they did to her and Thorne. In Ridges office, he feels terrible about what he did to Brooke and remembers the kiss that they had in the hotel room in Venice. Suddenly Ridge realizes that he is still in love with Brooke... A LOT! Ridge goes home to rethink his conclusion that he still loves Brooke, and has flahbacks of all the times he has hurt her. "I'm sorry Logan" he whispers as he drives into his driveway. Ridge then sees Taylor with the twins and Thomas, and he thinks how lucky he is to have them. As Taylor cooks dinner, Ridge is in their bedroom, still thinking about Brooke. He then notices a box in Taylor's wardrobe. He thinks it is strange that he's never seen it before, and he goes to investigate. Inside the box.... are letters, documents and photos. The photos are of Ridge and Brooke together. Ridge thinks it is strange how Taylor has these in the box. Ridge then rummages some more and finds a letter addressed to Taylor form Stephanie, saying:

Dear Taylor, Please find enclosed the doctors certificate of Brooke's pregnancy. It is revealed that Brooke really did have a miscarriage and the father was Ridge. She wasn't lying. I'm doing this to save your marriage. But you must never let him know, or he will surely go running back into Brooke's arms. If you want to keep Ridge, my son, as your husband, then discard this letter, for only you and I know about Brooke's baby, and that Ridge was the father. No one, not even Ridge believed Brooke, so that is a good sign. Take care.

Stephanie Forrester.

        A shocked Ridge starts crying........ Meanwhile Thorne goes over to Brookes place, as he can't stand not being near her, but she isn't there. Ridge tells Taylor he has an important meeting and leaves. Taylors thinks something is wrong. Ridge goes to the hospital and finds out all about Brooke's pregnancy from so long ago. Ridge then realizes, that Brooke's baby wasn't just a phantom... it was real... and he was the father. "Logan... I'm sorry I never believed you......I wasn't even there for you .....You had my first child... and not Taylor...." Ridge says as he sees a ultrasound photo of the baby. "You were real" he says. Ridge rushes over to Brooke's office and tells her about his discovery. He says he was sorry he never believed Brooke. Brooke does not believe him.... she didn't even know the hospital had the recordsand she didn't even know about anyone knowing. Brooke breaks down into tears, as Ridge comforts her and gives her a passionate kiss, Thorne comes in to proclaim his love for Brooke... only to see Ridge and Brooke kissing.

PART 2 ...

        While Thorne stands at the door and watches in disbelief at the site of Ridge and Brooke kissing, he realizes that Brooke really isn't over Ridge and leaves broken hearted. Just as Thorne leaves, Brooke breaks away from Ridges arms and their passionate kiss. Ridge looks at a stunned Brooke. Suddenly Brooke starts to cry. Ridge wraps his arms around her as to protect her and comfort her. Brooke lifts her head and gazes into Ridges eyes... and then slowly she shakes her head. "How can I believe you ever again after what you did to Thorne and I in Venice?" Ridge just stands there blankly, confused about Brooke's reaction. "Ridge... I'm not falling for your trick again... I am still in love with Thorne... and yes... I may still harbour feelings for you... they are only feelings of regret. Regret that I ever met you!" Ridge is shocked and just stands there. "Get out of my office." "What about the baby?" Ridge asks. "You never believed me and when I needed you the most... you abandoned me" Brooke shouts as tears stream down her face. "Please just leave." As Ridge starts to leave... he turns to Brooke to say something.. but sees how distressed she is and decides to let her be. He slowly walks out the door, where he is confronted by Taylor.

        "Honey, whats wrong? You look a little flushed. Are you alright?"  Taylor asks, as she gives her husband a kiss. "I'm fine" Ridge says as he tries to hide his tears. "Do wanna go for lunch? I dropped Thomas of to the daycare centre and the girls are with you mother. I thought we might spend some quality time together?" Taylor says seductively. "Sure... " Ridge says half-heartedly, not wanting to disappoint Taylor. As they leave, Ridge continues to think about the letter and what might have been with him and Brooke.

        Meanwhile, as Brooke sits at her desk with her head on it, Eric walks into her office. Brooke looks up to see who it is and under her breath she says "What is it? Forrester day? "Brooke stands, trying to clear up her face from her tears. "What do you want Eric?" Brooke asks sarcastically. "We've got a problem in Paris, with Forrester International. There's been a fire and it's completely damaged. I need you to go there immediately to sort things out." "O.k...O.k I'll go." Brooke states. "Anything to forget about Ridge and Thorne" Brooke says under her breath once more."What was that?" Eric asks. "Hm? oh... nothing" Brooke stares back at Eric. "I'll have Megan organise your scheldule and flight details." Eric says as he walks out the door. "God..." Brooke states as she falls into her chair and put her head on the desk once again.

        While in his office, Thorne paces around thinking about what he just saw. "She's obviously not over him... how could this be?" Thorne asks himself. "No.. Ridge must've pushed her into kissing him" As he tries to think of explanations for Ridge and Brooke kissing, Thorne doesn't realize the phone is ringing.After about the 7th ring, Thorne snaps out of it and answers it."Hello?""Hi honey, its Macy""Oh, Macy! Hi..." his voice trails off."Well, look... seeing as though we didn't have a proper honeymoon, I've decide we're going to have one.. right now!!! Meet me at the Airpot in and hour. I'll be there." Macy states excitingly. "Where are we going?" Thorne asks surprised."Thats a secret! aurevoir!" Macy says as she hangs up. "Aurevoir?! We're going to France" Thorne states.

        "Megan are my things ready?" "Yes Brooke.. your flight leaves at 3. So it's best to be there within an hours time." "Thanks Megan" Brooke replies."Everything is sorted out... here's your tickets... you accomodation...and your luggage is coming from home." states Mega impressively."Thanks once again Mega. I don't know where I'd be without you" Brooke replies. "Not a problem!" "Anyway... you know the traffic at this time of the hour.. I'd better leave now."  "Sure.... Have a great time!" Yeah.. doing what? Working?! Oh did you call Katie to tell her to pick up Bridgette from school and to ..." "Cook the kids dinner" Megan cuts Brooke off. "Of course I did!"
proclaims Megan. "Thanks megan! I've gotta run! Bye!" Brooke says as she hurries off.

At the Airport.

        "Hi. I have a booking made and seat reservations for Brooke Logan." "Good afternoon Ms. Logan. Your luggage has already been put through. Here is your first class ticket and your invitation to the lounge. Enjoy the flight Ms. Logan." "Thank you." Brooke replies as she hurridly heads for the escaltors. As Brooke heads for the scalators....Thorne arrives at the airport. "Thorne" Macy calls "Hey!" Thorne replies and comes up to Macy and plants a kiss on her cheek. "Everythings set." Macy says. "Great" Thorne says. "Well... we deserve this! Finally we can be alone and maybe we could even start our own little family on this trip" Macy says seductively as she gives her husband a wink. "Yeah..." Thorne's voice trails off as he is distracted. He turns to look...and he stares at a lady going up the escalators... looking so much like Brooke."Honey?" Macy asks."Hmm...?! Yeah sorry mace." Thorne says as he tries to shake the image from his mind. "C'mon lets head for the boarding gate." "Yeah... o.k. We are going to France right?" "You guessed it sweetheart!" As Thorne and Macy head for the Boarding gate, so does Brooke as she exits from the Golden WIng Lounge"

        Brooke reaches the gate first and is showed to her seat. "Welcome aboard Ms. Logan." "Thank you." Brooke says as she takes her seat. "Would you like a glass of champagne before take-off?" The stewardess asks. "Ah... yes thanks. That would be lovely." As Brooke settles in... Thorne and Macy arrive... on the same flight! As Brooke sits sipping her champagne, she hears the stewardess say "Welcome aboard Mrs Forrester and Mr. Forrester." A shocked Brooke turns around to see Thorne and Macy be shown to their seats in front of hers. Thorne looks down and his eyes meet Brooke's. "What are you doing here?!" asks a shocked Brooke. "I'm here on my hone..y... um. I'm here with ... Macy." Thorne says "Oh... I see." Brooke says as she gazes ahead of her to see Macy getting settled down into her seat. "Well... what are you doing here?" Macy asks suspiciously, as she heard Thorne and Brookes conversation. "I'm here on business." Brooke says coldly "Oh... and what business would that be?" asks macy mockingly. "For your information Macy... Forrester International has been burnt
down." Brooke replies. "What?" Thorne shouts. "When did this happen?" "Last night. They think a fuse blew in the sewing room. everything is destroyed so I need to go over there to sort out the damages." Brooke says. "Thats a big job. Do you need some help?" Thorne asks. Brooke gives him a long hard look and then looks at Macy, who has a look of disbelief after what her husband just asked. "um... no.. I'll be fine. You too enjoy whatever you're going to do..' Brookes voice trails off. Suddenly a voice interrupts their conversation. "Excuse me Mr. Forrester, I'm going to have to ask you to take you seat, we'll be taking off shortly." As Thorne takes his seat, Macy grabs him and gives him a passionate kiss... knowing that Brooke would see. As Brooke watches... she says to herself... 'this is going to be a long flight..." as the Plane takes off for Paris.

PART 3 ...

        As Brooke sits and flicks through some magazines, Macy is talking to Thorne about how great their honeymoon will be.“Just the two of us! Alone. In Paris!” Macy exclaims, deliberately speaking loudly, knowing Brooke can hear.Thorne notices Brooke wince at the sounds of him and Macy having a honeymoon in Paris. He begins to feel uncomfortable talking about his honeymoon with Macy, knowing tha Brooke can hear them, and he soon begins to feel guilty. Thorne pauses for a moment and stares into Macy’s eyes. “Hmm… nothing.
Meanwhile, the plane is getting ready to land.“Excuse me Ms. Logan, I’m afraid you’re going to have to put your seat up.” “Oh… thank you” Brooke replies to the stewardess, as she raises her seat. Brooke then notices Thorne and Macy sleeping, Macy’s head rested on Thorne’s shoulder.“I’ve got to get over him” Brooke says to herself. “But how?”

The plane lands at the Airport in Paris. “Well, I hope you two have a great time” Brooke says to Macy and Thorne, trying to sound as sincere as possible.Macy wastes no time in replying, “Oh, we will. You don’t have to worry about us Brooke!”Still thinking about Ridge’s kiss with Brooke, Thorne asks Brooke if she needs help at Forrester International. “You sure you don’t need any help or do you have someone else coming to help you?”
Brooke looks into Thorne’s eyes and stares into them as if she can read his soul, “No…No ones coming from L.A to help me.I’ve got other people helping though, so I’ll be fine.” As tears start to form, she bids Thorne and Macy farewell as she departs the plane.

Thorne, angry at himself for implying that Brooke was expecting someone there in Paris for something other than work, he suggests to Macy that they leave the plane and head for their hotel.
As Brooke speaks her fluent french, she asks for a taxi to take her to her hotel, the Chateau Marmont.Meanwhile, Thorne and Macy head for their hotel in a taxi.

Both taxis head in the same direction…. Brooke enters the Chateau Marmont, while the taxi driver thanks her for the large tip she gave him. A bell-boy asks to take her luggage to the front desk, and she approves his enquiry with a nod of her head. As her luggage is being taken to the front desk at reception, Brooke admires the lavish and grand staircase leading to the upper gallery of the hotel. The hotel was ravished in beautiful paintings of original art. The soft and melancholy music floated through the halls of the hotel and the sounds of the beautiful spring fountains in the French garden eluded Brooke’s soul. She almost forgot where she was, when a voice interrupted her thoughts. Not long after, Thorne and Macy arrive at their hotel.“Here we are sweetheart! The Chateau Marmont! The most beautiful hotel in France!” Macy exclaims excitedly. “Wow! It’s beautiful!” Thorne comments as he admires the beautiful scenery and French gardens. “Hey. Thanks for bringing me here” Thorne says as he gives his wife a kiss on the cheek.

Meanwhile back in L.A

“Dad. Can I talk with you?” Ridge asks as he steps into Eric’s office. “Sure Son! How are the girls? Taylor?” Eric asks. “Dad they’re fine. I came to talk to you about Brooke.” “Brooke?!” Eric asks angrily. “What do you want to talk to me about Brooke for?” “Dad. Look… mother has been keeping something from me all this time. Something that could have shaped my future… something that could have saved my relationship with Brooke.” Ridge says, with a soft saddening tone in his voice. “What are you talking about. You & I both know, your mother would never keep anything from you. Why even bother bringing up your relationship with Brooke? You two are over and you and I both know that her involvement in this family is over.” Eric states angrily. “No Dad. You’ve got to listen. Mother ..”

“Enough about your mother. She has done everything in her power to help you not get destroyed by that women” Eric cuts Ridge off. “Now this discussion is over.”

As Ridge leaves, he wonders to himself how he can make Eric see what Stephanie didn’t tell him could’ve changed his entire future. He might have been with Brooke now, if it wasn’t for what Stephanie and Taylor had kept from him.

“Who can get through to Dad?” Ridge asks out aloud. “I know…” he pauses. “The Children.”

“Your key Mademoiselle” the receptionist says in  a cheerful and placid voice. “Thank you” Brooke replies as she accepts the key to her room. “Your room is the best suit in the hotel ma’am” The receptionist informs. “Oh! Thank you!” Brooke says. Suddenly from behind her she hears a familiar voice. She turns around to see…

“Macy. Thorne?! What are you doing here?” Brooke asks, shocked to see them there. “Shouldn’t we be asking you  that question Brooke?” Macy says sarcastically. “Look if you think I planned this, well then you’re wrong.” Brooke says defensively. “Yeah..hhmmm when are you going to stop this obsession with my husband and his family?” Macy says in a threatening tone. “Look… Macy, I’m not here to cause trouble. Like I said I am here to do work and that is it.” Brooke turns to Thorne for support. Thorne just looks blankly at Brooke, still angry about Brooke and Ridge’s kiss in her office. “Look… I hope you two have a great time.” Brooke says as she tries not to make eye contact with Macy or Thorne. “I have a lot of work to do, so if you don’t mind.” Brooke says as she walks off. Meanwhile, Thorne has that look on his face, as his eyes follow Brooke up the stairs of the hotel.

Finally in her room, Brooke says to herself “You’ve got to let go. He’s not mine anymore. He’s Macy’s. I must get over him. Staying away from him  and working for the next week will help get my mind off him.And that’s exactly what I plan to do.” Brooke says determinedly.
