Kylee tries to understand.
“I hear all of these things that you’re saying, I just like, feel like if you’re so sure about me, I’m literally telling you it’s you. Like, I’m literally telling that to you,” she says to Aven. “And so you have to understand where I’m having doubt.”
Aven asks her the ultimate question: “If we don’t get engaged, are we done?”
Kylee will give her response during Thursday’sBachelor in Paradiseseason 9 finale. The formerBachelorseason 27 contestantexpressed strong feelings for Aven right fromthe start ofParadise, telling hostJesse Palmerwhen she arrived that she hoped to meet Aven because of interactions they’d had on social media, such as Aven commenting a fire emoji on one of her selfies.
“If it was him down on one knee, I’d be ready to say ‘yes,’” Kylee told Jesse, 45.

The former NFL pro thought her feelings might’ve been premature. “Social media’s the only interaction you’ve had with this man?” he asked. Kylie confirmed that yes, they’d only interacted online.

“I would love waking up next to him every single day for the rest of my life,” Kylee told the cameras afterher first date with Aven.
