“Do I wish on night one I could have just said goodbye to the 20 other girls and go ‘Laura’s the one’? I wish I could have.” The latest Bachelor, who had quite a few passionate moments with multiple contestants while filming, continued to explain that he wasn’t interested in creating TV that was compelling to watch, preferring to pursue his true feelings.
It was clear that Laura wasn’t aware of the Marketing Manager’s strong feelings, with the beauty fearing Matty was going to choose Elise in last night’s finale. “It’s OK. Whatever it is, it’s OK … If you’re gonna do it, do it,” she said as she began to tear up.
“All I wanted was to fall in love. And to fall in love with someone who’s so amazing and to have them love you back, nothing compares.”
“That night when you first told me, I was so excited and I was so happy. All I wanted to do was just speak to you and tell you that, ‘Laura, I’m falling in love with you too.”
Earlier, Matty told runner-up Elise that he was in love with Laura, telling the charismatic marketing executive, “You are so worthy of being happy and finding true love but I’m so sorry that it’s not with me.”
Elise has since confessed she was unable to date thanks to her Bachelor contract, telling HIT FM’s Stav, Abby & Matt with Osher on Friday that she was still single because of being banned from seeing anyone until the grand finale aired. “It’s actually been great taking the focus off getting back into the dating world,” she said.
Until next year, Fairies!
