Amber turned to Chloe once Damien was absent, "I'm not celebrating mom." She pleaded, "I just don't think I need such a big celebration. You and I would've been fine." She shrugged, "But Damien…"
"Is a great guy." Chloe smiled at her daughter and squeezed her shoulders, "You've brought guys here in the past but if I'm being honest I've never connected with any of them like I did with Damien."
Amber pursed her lips, she had never seen her mother more attentive with any guy she brought into her life before. "That's not true. What about Sprouse?"
Chloe grimaced, "Sprouse was uhm...how do I put this. Sprouse was a drunk darling. He scarvage us with every liquor we hold in her cabernet."
"Sure he needed help but he was a good guy."
"Honey, why are you so determined to not invite Damien? You even forgot to invite him…" She then narrowed her eyes, "I think I know what's going on here."
