I didn't believe Hope

When she told Liam that she lost her way and all that, it sounded exactly like Brooke's words. I didn't buy it. It was like she caved and decided to try Brooke's wish, even using her words.

Sure, Hope loves Liam. But I don't think she's in love with him anymore. The butterflies in her stomach come to life when she's around Thomas. She would probably go for it if not everyone was so much against it.

I believe Hope's words because even when Hope was in bed with Thomas, we had Hope too wondering if something was wrong with her and how she had been reacting without really thinking,
how it felt so good (having sex with Thomas) that it had to be right, hadn't it? Then again talking about how her feelings for Thomas had terrified her but that she now kinda understands her mother and how Brooke fell for the bad guys and followed her heart.

Thomas: What– what are we doing?
Hope: I… I don’t know. I– I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m doing because I guess I’m not thinking I’m just destroying my marriage and my family, right? Because something’s wrong with me.

Hope: It was amazing. You are amazing.
[ Hope chuckling ] This is so not like me. Oh, my gosh, thomas. You know, when I first started having feelings for you, it’s just terrified me. And not because of how you’re probably thinking. It’s more because I just didn’t understand it. And so I blamed work, blamed stress, I– I blamed my mom and her history and… her past mistakes and relationships.
Thomas: Do you feel like you’re making a mistake?
Hope: I hate that I hurt liam. And I hate that I hurt my family. I hate that. But how can this be a mistake when what we shared feels so right? I mean, it’s like how when we design and when we create together and you just are able to finish my sentences. It’s like you know what I’m thinking before I even do. You know what I want before I even know that I need it.
Thomas: I just drew thinking about you, your– your boldness, your drama, your sexiness. All of it I just… it was all just you. Every piece.
Hope: Something so beautiful, it just… it can’t be wrong. This has to be right.

Hope: I’ve never really known this part of me. And on some level, I guess, it scares me.
Thomas: Being with me?
Hope: No. It’s just what’s going on inside of me. It’s almost like something has been unleashed. But it feels… strong. Powerful.
Thomas: Yeah, strong and powerful sound good.
[ Hope chuckling ]Hope: Who knows? Maybe, this is what my mom was talking about all those years, you know, following her heart. Maybe, this is what it feels like. I just know that, um… it took a lot to admit that… I’ve been thinking about you in this way for a while now, and I– I knew it was wrong. I know it’S… this is wrong, but I just… I had to give in.

Hope: You know, I meant what I said. That I’ve never experienced anything like this. This feeling. It’s just… I don’t know, maybe it is because we’re doing something wrong. I mean, I am technically a married woman and yet… I don’t feel ashamed. I mean how could I? What we shared was so… passionate. Was so incredible. But before I– I get myself in any more trouble than I am… I should probably go.
Thomas: Okay. Look, um… before you do though, I… I have a question and I want you to be honest. Is this… you and me, something you can actually handle? Tell me the truth.
Hope: Thomas… you’ve unlocked something in me and I have never felt more alive and I want to keep exploring that with you, but I also need to figure out what my next steps are going to be. So, until I get that figured out, can we just… can we keep this between us?

Hope: I’m not the one that gave up on my marriage, mom! That was liam! And sure, maybe this is moving too fast with thomas, maybe it’s– maybe it is wrong, maybe it is scandalous, but it was also beautiful and passionate and romantic and if anyone should be able to understand it, it should be you.

Hope: I didn’t plan any of this. I never thought for a minute that I could be with a man like this while I’m still married to another. I mean, how could I possibly, right? That’s not who I am.

Hope: Yeah. Little miss hope logan. Too good to do something so thoughtless. I mean, how could I possibly? But I hate to break it to you, mom, what thomas and i shared was beautiful. And I have never felt this way before. And I am following my heart just like you did all those years ago and I am not saying that to blame you, mom. I don’t blame you for any of this. If anything, it just makes me feel even worse about the way that I attacked you for your past. Saying that I never wanted to be like you. Well maybe, I was wrong.
