He joined the ladies inside and got to know each of them. One by one he talked to them, asking what they did and what they liked to do.
Caitlin had been married before. However, her husband was killed while fighting in Iraq. At the time of his death, she was seven months pregnant with her first child, a daughter Quinn. She had already piqued his interest by her looks. This added to his interest.
Courtney never dated while in high school or college. She was very shy in high school and never drew attention.
Laura had a son Caleb. Her boyfriend had left her when he found out she was pregnant.
Denise was a breast cancer survivor and had been cancer free for the past eight months. That was the type of fighting spirit he wanted in the mansion.
While he was mingling, he must have missed seeing Candace slip out. She left after she talked briefly with him. Guess she thought she was too good for him.
Christa also had a son, Shane. He had Down's syndrome.
He found out what Alison meant when she said she would give him a Screaming Orgasm. Potent drink. She suggested that later, he try Sex on the Beach. He was intrigued.
In the end, the first impression rose went to McKenna. She played volleyball in high school until she was blindsided by a drunk driver. She didn't let the fact that she was in a wheelchair dampen her spirit. She was just like everyone else there, a beautiful woman looking for someone to love them.
There were others he was quick to dismiss.
Hilary seemed a bit on the stuck-up side. She felt like she was better than everyone else, a feature that instantly turned him off.
Catherine was too superficial. She was more interested in what he owned than who he was.
After taking time to get to know everyone, Chris led Brian to his room to make his decision. He had to choose fourteen of the ladies to stay.
After much thought, he made his decisions. He went downstairs, where the twenty-four remaining ladies were waiting. He was told that Candace had left.
The first of his roses went to Alison and Sage, who both accepted.
His next offer went to Olivia. She refused his rose and walked out. Guess he was too out of shape for her.
The next roses went to Amber, Julie, Melissa, and Christa, who all accepted.
His next choice was Jasmine. She was hesitant at first, but eventually accepted. Next was Denise, who kissed him on the cheek as she accepted.
The tenth rose went to Caitlin. If he had to choose today, it would be Caitlin, but he didn't want to let her know. She gladly accepted.
