“I remember saying ‘goodbye’ to him and saying, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re getting engaged tomorrow,'” Litia recalled of her final date with Grant. “And he said, ‘I know, I can’t wait! I love you, I love you, I love you.’ And those were the last words he said to me.”

“The things that you’ve said to me all along the way make this decision that you’ve made so much more devastating,” Litia continued. “For me, the switch up is crazy.”

9 hr 17 min ago
After horseback riding on the beach in the rain for their final date, Grant met up with Litia to try to get clarity on who he should pick in the end.
Grant started by asking Litia if she felt pressure from her family to become a mom. “I don’t feel pressure from them on timeline,” she replied.
Then Grant wondered how Litia would react if he didn’t want to have kids on her timeline.
“I think it would depend on your reasons,” she said. “If your reasons were, there’s still more that you want to accomplish before you have kids, I think you want to be a very present father and so, I think if you’re not ready and there are things that you want to do, I think of course. You know? I want to make you happy.”

Juliana Meets Grant’s Family

Before introducing Juliana to his loved ones, Grant told the cameras he needed to “see if she’s truly ready for love.” Meanwhile, Juliana worried that she hadn’t said “I love you” to Grant yet and whether she’d be able to get there.
Renee told Juliana she planned to ask her “some hard questions,” including, “Do you love my son?”
“Grant and I have not told each other we love each other,” Juliana confessed to Renee. “I’ve been kind of holding back a little bit in that sense just because what that means.”
Renee questioned how Juliana knows she can get there with Grant. “An engagement means forever to me,” Juliana assured. “Love means forever to me. He is truly somebody that I can see myself being in love with and spending the rest of eternity with.”
Renee brought up to her son that she felt concerned about him and Juliana not saying “I love you” yet.
“It’s no fault to her. You know?” Grant said. “I think that it’s hard to say that you love somebody when there’s somebody else in the picture.”
Still, Renee said, “If she doesn’t tell you she loves you, I am asking you to walk away from that.”

That made Grant feel better about the situation, and he left the family meeting feeling like “this is something I can get used to” in terms of Litia fitting in with his parents and sister.
When Grant and Litia spoke privately afterwards, the New Jersey native reiterated to Litia that he loved her — and she returned the sentiment.
“I just know with you,” Litia said to Grant. “And yeah, I just love you.”
