Gone, But Not Forgotten

On the anniversary of Cole’s passing, Victoria and Claire had a special celebration in his honor. The mother and daughter made Cole’s favorite snacks, then reminisced by looking at photos of him.

As the talk continued, Victoria said she’s not ready for a serious relationship at the moment. But it seems that she isn’t closing the door on the idea.
New Beginning
Victoria suffered many heartbreaks, but losing Cole is still fresh for her. The exes reunited upon learning that Claire was their presumed-dead daughter Eve, who was raised by Jordan (Colleen Zenk).
