Brooke Faces a Heart-Wrenching Decision: Nick vs. Ridge

Brooke Logan’s world is turned upside down when Nick returns to town, stirring memories of passion, stability, and the love she once had outside of the Forrester chaos. No longer willing to beg for Ridge’s affection, Brooke finds herself drawn to Nick’s attentiveness and the warmth he brings. Their dinner together becomes a turning point, as Nick reminds her that she deserves someone who puts her first. For a fleeting moment, Brooke allows herself to dream of a future where she isn’t in Ridge’s emotional no-man’s land.

But Ridge, never one to back down, reacts with anger and jealousy. When he sees Brooke laughing with Nick at Il Giardino, his rage boils over. “He’s just using you,” Ridge snaps, but Brooke, no longer willing to tolerate his emotional games, calmly retorts, “Maybe you should have loved me better.” The moment marks a turning point for Brooke—this time, she’s done waiting for Ridge to make up his mind.

With the tension between them reaching its breaking point, the question remains: will Ridge lose Brooke for good, or is this just another chapter in their never-ending emotional tug-of-war?
