'I feel like I don't want to be here right now'
Brayden admits on the Monday, July 17 episode that he is still upset with Aaron Bryant over last week's cocktail party. "My goal at the end of this," Brayden adds, "was to have a connection with a woman."
"She wants a husband," Aaron says in response.
"What's the conversation?" Charity asks as she steps in. Charity inquires about the men's intense discussion, and Brayden informs her that he has had his luggage packed twice now. She is surprised by the confession and requests to talk with Brayden alone. Aaron expresses his desire for Charity to send Brayden home in a confessional. In a different confessional, Charity admits to being annoyed with Brayden. She expresses her delight at seeing him and speaking with him tonight.
"I feel like I like you," he says, "but I feel like I don't want to be here right now."
"I deserve someone who is wholeheartedly gonna put their whole heart into this," Charity adds as she leads him out.
