After Eric refused, he invited Wyatt to move into the mansion then made his marriage to Quinn official. Though Ridge urged Brooke to marry Bill as soon as possible, to get his Forrester shares, he ended up kissing her passionately. Elsewhere, Steffy wouldn’t move in with Liam until her divorce to Wyatt was final. Liam respected her decision but didn’t waste time showing Steffy how much he’d missed her and the two made love.
