As soon as our eyes open, a blast of a smile takes over my face. “I love you, too.”

And then I suck in a breath and rip the envelope open.

Post-Finale Confessional Transcript

Connor Prince:Well. Felicity Chen. Here we are.

Fizzy Chen:Here we are.

Connor:How are you feeling?

Fizzy:I’m feeling like I was driven across town to film a confessional in this trailer when I should have been driven to your house to film our first sex tape.

Connor:[laughs] I mean about tonight, the finale, and the revelation of our score, you muppet.

Fizzy:Oh, it was the best night of my life. The surprises, the celebration with everyone onstage, the after-party.

Connor:God, there are going to be somehorrendoushangovers tomorrow.

Fizzy:Tex was drinking beer out of his hat.

Connor:I don’t think Nick ever found his shoes.

Fizzy:Yes, well, some poor choices were made, but not by us.

Connor:Indeed. Our night is only going to get better.

Fizzy:Promise?

Connor:Oh, I promise.

Fizzy:In that case, I think it’s fitting that our score falls in the category of Titanium Matches. [winks at the camera]

Connor:I believe that’s an erection joke and I’m going to move on.

Fizzy:You always assume I’m being dirty. Maybe it was just a joke about the strength of our bond.

Connor:Was it?

Fizzy:No, it was an erection joke.

Connor:You are ensuring that this footage never sees the light of day, aren’t you?

Fizzy:When were you going to show this anyway? The finale was live!

Connor:I presume there will be demand for a follow-up or reunion episode of some sort. Brenna said “trending” and “viral” about seven hundred times tonight.

Fizzy:Okay, then just edit my boner joke out with bleeps and eggplant emojis; what’s so hard?

Connor:Ah, note to self to add a cymbal crash there.

Fizzy:See, I didn’t even mean to make that pun! You’re as bad as I am.

Connor:Maybe that’s why this is true love.

Fizzy:I think with a score of eighty-eight, there are alotof reasons why this is true love.
