I'm thinking that Trace thought they talked about it and Abby was okay. I guess Trace isn't as good at reading Abby as he thinks he is or he used to be. I think Trace is a little lost right now. Both him and Abby have been going at this the same way of making everyone happy except themselves. Maybe they are more alike then we gave them credit for.

I think Trace hasn't checked in with Abby to really make sure all of this is okay with her. He should've seen a HUGE red flag when that fan addressed Abby by name and of course it was obvious that the two had never laid eyes on each other much less know each other well enough to go by first names. Trace just doesn't get that he's living two different lives. Country star and family man. They don't mix. Look at Donovan's case. He's giving Trace all these clues to how life turns out if you go the same path he did. I think Trace finally got it when seeing Donovan with his daughter. That look on his face said it all.
