Chance says he’s glad she has some support, as their marriage is going through a difficult time. He says that Abby thought that he was putting work in front of their marriage.
Victor says he had no idea, and asks if Chance loves her. Chance says he does, but he thinks it’s best that they take time apart right now.
Victor asks what he’s not telling him.
Chance says that sometimes the best way for things to heal is to just leave them alone.
