In Audra’s site at the GCAC, Tucker wakes up and checks his messages.
He flashes back to the last fight they had with Ashley.
He gets dressed and writes a note that he leaves by the bed before exiting.
Tucker bumps into Lily in the foyer and asks after her daughter.
She doesn’t think they have much to say to each other since her brother cut him out of his life.
He asks how his son is doing but she’s keeping mum.
He can understand her suspicions but keeping his distance is hurting him and he misses Dom.
She tells him he has no one to blame but himself and she doesn’t think this can be undone.
After she walks off, Devon enters and blanks him.
When he returns, Tucker tries to talk to him and tells him he knows about the harm he has caused, but does he really think that he is beyond all hope?
Devon says they have never been a family and accuses him of crossing all the lines he’s drawn.
He says that he’s alone because he keeps sabotaging the things he claims matter to him.
He walks off.
Devon and his sister sit at a table and talk about Tucker.
He assures her that his father is not getting to him.
He’s messed up every chance he’s given him and it’s okay.
She tells him it’s okay to be sad and disappointed about that.
Admitting it matters doesn’t mean Tucker has won.
He can hear what she’s saying but he can’t miss what he never had.
He’s never been able to rely on Tucker.
It’s all about McCall using people and he doesn’t act like a real father.
Neil is the only father he’ll ever need.
His sister thinks there’s more to his feelings than he’s admitting.
She changes the subject to Billy.
Devon says he’s frustrating and there’s no reason for him to be at the company now that she’s back.
Lily thinks he does have a purpose and place there now.
Back in the suite, Audra wakes up and reads the note.
It says she is beautiful and what an idiot he was not to realize how wonderful she is. She smiles.
Once she gets dressed, he returns and she tells him his note was sweet.
He says he had a mysterious errand to run.
She asks for a hint but he won’t give away the surprise.
Tucker leads Audra down to the jazz lounge.
He has the whole place reserved for them alone and announces he’s brought Paris to them.
She’s stunned and tells him what a romantic he is.
They kiss and sit down to a table.
He toasts to her and tells her how much she means to him and has meant.
For the longest time, he didn’t admit it.
But she’s been his confidante and the one who has kept him on his toes.
He doesn’t think he realized how much he needs her and loves her.
She may not want anyone to know how sweet she is but he knows and marvels at her.
Being close to her makes him feel like he’s where he’s supposed to be.
He’s spent his life trying not to be vulnerable, but he is.
He pulls out a ring and proposes.
Her mouth hangs open.
