Sonny: A bet’s a bet.
Kate: See? Your virility wasn’t compromised a bit by picking your fiancée a bouquet.
Sonny: Yeah, I’ll show you how much it wasn’t when I take the dirt off my hands.
Kate: Can I have my flowers?
Maid: I’ll get you a vase, Miss.
Kate: Oh, no, no, it’s okay. I got it. I noticed the freesias outside earlier. The scent is amazing.
Maid: Mrs. Corinthos loved them. She used to plant them everywhere.
Sonny: You’re not going to put the flowers in the vase?
Kate: Not yet. I’m still enjoying my bouquet. This place really is special, Sonny. How long did you say you’ve had it?
Sonny: Give or take, 10 years.
Kate: What are your favorite things to do here?
Sonny: Well, that depends, you know, who I’m with. But I want to start, you know, from scratch. So, whatever we decide to do, we could start a new tradition.
Kate: Okay, well, if it was up to you and you alone, what would you do?
Sonny: I’d go on a boat. I’d go to the beach because I love the beach, take a picnic, take a walk into the cove. We’d go for a swim.
Kate: I think you’re confusing me with someone else. I don’t swim, remember?
Sonny: I’m not confusing you with anybody.
Sonny: You know why? Because all you got to do is let me hold you and you’ll feel safe.
Kate: Wow.
Sonny: Hey. I had the restaurant send over some food, all right, so we can eat and have champagne.
Kate: Thank you. So I noticed all those shells in the cabinet before. They’re phenomenal. Are they all from the island?
Sonny: Yeah, Carly collected them, along with Michael and Morgan. And when Michael was 5, one of those summers, he saw a starfish. That’s probably what you saw over there.
Kate: What about that cone-shaped one? It has sort of like a tiger pattern on it.
Sonny: I don’t know because Carly knew the names of all those things. What I should’ve done is packed all that stuff up and sent it to her after we got divorced, but I just never got around to it.
Kate: Well, maybe you like having it here.
Sonny: No, what I like is, you know, when I see them, it reminds me of my children on the beach picking up shells.
Kate: Mm-hmm, with Carly.
Sonny: Okay, listen, that was in the past.
Kate: Yeah, it was. It’s just that Carly has a lot of — she’s left her mark on the place in a lot of ways.
Sonny: We spent a lot of time here. I told you that.
Kate: Yes, you did. And I thought it was best to meet those memories head-on, but it’s just making me wonder if Carly will ever really be out of your life.
Sonny: When did this stop being fun for you?
Kate: I don’t know, I guess when I broke my own rules and started fishing around about Carly.
Sonny: Carly and I are done, and as soon as she took my kids, there was no bond there. You know that already.
Kate: I know that you’re hurt.
Sonny: Yes.
Kate: I know that you’re angry. You have every right to be. That doesn’t negate the years you spent with Carly.
Sonny: People have been married for 20, 30 years. They have a second marriage, and they’re happy and fulfilled.
Kate: Uh-huh, does Carly know that role?
Sonny: Carly’s married to Jax, so what are we going here for?
Kate: Jax thinks the same thing.
Sonny: What do you mean?
Kate: There is something between you two. There’s some sort of connection. It’s not the kids. It’s –
Sonny: You and I knew each other when we were teenagers, way before Carly, so that means that we have a special bond.
Kate: Do you remember — do you remember that night that we went to the park and we brought the folding chairs and we looked up at the stars –
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: And we played “What’s your Secret?” And we confided back and forth, and you looked at me and you said, “Connie, no one will ever know me like you do.”
Sonny: It’s true.
Kate: It was true. It was true. There’s so many years in between, Sonny, and so many of those years were with Carly.
Sonny: But that is the past. I cannot change that, Kate.
Kate: I know you can’t. And you can’t change whatever it is you have with her.
Sonny: What do you want me to say?
Kate: I don’t know.
Sonny: Okay.
Kate: I — I don’t know. I guess I just want you to validate my feelings that there is some sort of spark between you that could be ignited at any time, and without any warning, you could find yourself in each other’s arms, and I would be the one burned.
Sonny: Yes, I — I have gone back to Carly in the past, but that’s when I was with women in short-term relationships.
Kate: But the pull was always there.
Sonny: She was the mother of my children. I was addicted to the drama and the pain that we caused each other.
Sonny: You have to understand that I was different back then. Bipolar, self-destructive. I was in the mob. Now I’m a legitimate coffee importer. I’m taking my medication. And I’m — and I’m in the best place I’ve ever been right now because of you.
Sonny: My future is with you. Do you want to know what I feel about Carly? Sadness.
Kate: Thank you. I needed to hear that, and I really hope it’s true.
