Well, right when I saw tweets from RS saying that for Desiree it was 'Brooks, Brooks, Brooks', but he wasn't ready to get married any time soon...I said I'd go Nate on him.

I'm not disappointed in him at all Cecilia... he is being as honest with his feelings as he can be. self realization is tough, and that is what he is going thru. he admitted to his mom on the htd that his walls that he had up were starting to come down, and it was a healing thing to put yourself in a really vulnerable position to fall in love. at the end of that htd date, Brooks admitted that he and Des were on the same page and he didn't want her to leave... the next picture we have is RC and he sees Zak completely blindsided and this puts these questions up there again, and once again the walls go up. He is finding any and all excuses to get out before he gets blindsided by Des. that's what the talk with mom and sister was about, the talk with CH. you could see him thinking when asked, are you telling me you are not in love with Des? he loves her but fears the heartache. even tho he told her on the first date he would be open to falling in love even if he gets his heart broken, he has too many ghosts in his closet.

I don't think for one moment that he is not realizing the depth of his love for Des, if that was the case he would have said his peace and got up and left. yet, after breaking up with her he wanted to stay with her, he wanted to continue to hold and comfort her. I have no doubt that Brooks loves Des, in his heart and his head.

There are times when it takes a bit of time for the heart and the head to catch up with each other

I'm still not getting it. How is there the time to MTP or anything?

When Desiree met Chris S tonight was it at Devil's Bridge?

Nope. Not disappointed in him. Just the opposite. It showed a lot of good qualities in him. I'm just very sad at the moment for both of them. That was very painful to watch.

atem... i'm sure i'm further down this road than you in the number of years on this planet. honestly, it's not just being optimistic. it's living life and giving the benefit of the doubt to all, it's trusting that good things happen to all people, it's learning to live when you were sure you couldn't take another breath. I know what my eyes saw, not what the edit says, but what I saw with my own eyes. plus it doesn't hurt that I have been assured Brooks F1, Chris F2, and Drew F3. hang in there and trust what you have seen with your own eyes, not what hasn't been shown.

Latergator, I love how you see this playing out. I can't see Des picking anyone but Brooks. Knowing that she loves him will tear down the walls of fear he has around his heart. Des says next week will be happy tears ... I can't wait...

There are some comical pieces to my tale as well .. Like...

I made him wait 3 days for an answer!!!
The local priest came to my house to talk us out of it .. Didn't think it would work
My guy brought me a pine cone as proof of him going to a special place to contemplate his future .. While there he drove a stick in the ground and marked it with a kerchief that I had given him .. 2 years later we traveled there .. And low and behold .. It was still there
He was thousands of miles away .. And had to earn enough money to get back to me by the date of the wedding .. He made it by 2 days .. With new cowboy boots in hand LOL
