Tears started filling in his eyes.
"And I must be a fool to say this. You're not the one. Please don't take this the wrong way. I know you're going to be a huge star, and the last thing I want to do is hold you back. I am so sorry."
She lost it. She was crying Niagara Falls.
"You broke my heart. I will never love anyone else the way I loved you."
Brian walked her to the limo and saw it drive off. Once inside, Caitlin said, "At least I have some new material. I bet this could be a number one hit."
Brian took some time to compose himself. Fifteen minutes later, the other limo drove up. Julie stepped out wearing the same black dress she wore the first night. He met her on the veranda with a hug and a kiss.
"You look more beautiful than the first night I saw you. You have everything I could possibly ask for in a woman. You make me a better man both inside and out. Any man would be proud to call you his wife.
He dropped down to one knee. "And I want that man to be me." He showed her the ring. "Julie Marie Hoffman, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
She started crying as soon as she saw the ring. "Of course, I will marry you." She sealed the deal with a kiss.
They enjoyed their last moment together for a while. They would have to leave on separate planes in the morning. Little did Brian know what would happen next.
For weeks after filming ended, Brian tried to contact Julie. Physical contact was forbidden by the contract. Every time he tried to call, it went straight to voice mail.
Brian considered traveling to Savannah to see if everything was okay, even if it meant breaking the contract. Instead, he waited patiently, hoping she would answer.
Eventually, he got a disconnect notice from her number. He tried contacting the producers of the show to get her new number, but they had no knowledge of the change.
Meanwhile, in San Antonio, Samantha was still living with Jeremy. However, they weren't as happy as they were in Antigua.
While The Bachelor was filming, Samantha grew more distant from Jeremy. She missed her friends and family in Wisconsin. He began spending more time away from home. She grew lonely. She realized that she made a mistake choosing Jeremy. It was good for the short term, but not a good long-term decision Then, The Bachelor started airing. Samantha was reintroduced to Brian. The few memories she had of him returned. She knew who she needed to be with, but knew it would not be possible.
