Reality Check

It wasn't as private as Julie would have liked it. She kindly asked the cameraman to leave. He refused. Then, she turned up the heat by lowering the straps on her negligée.

It looked like a repeat of his thirtieth birthday. As such, the cameraman left the room.

Julie wanted America to think they did something naughty when actually, they did nothing but cuddle.

When Brian woke the next morning, Julie was standing on the balcony, watching the sun rise. He put on a robe and joined her.

"What a gorgeous sunrise. Can't you picture us doing this every morning?" She kissed him.

They got dressed to check out. Julie had a feeling of "mission accomplished".

Brian met with his family later that day to get their opinions of her. The men had nothing but positive comments about her.

His sister-in-law, on the other hand, felt suspicious about her. There was something about her she just didn't like.

Brian spent the rest of the day reflecting on what Julie had said about Caitlin. His feelings were so strong for her. What if Julie was right? Could he move to Nashville? Would she find time for him? Was she just trying to further her singing career?

He would get those answers the next day on their overnight date.

He met Caitlin for a day in the Atherton Tablelands. Their first stop was Millaa Millaa Falls. After walking through the rainforest, they came across this attraction. They enjoyed a kiss underneath the falls.

From there, they went to Paronella Park. They saw platypuses and tree kangaroos. They also saw a Spanish castle in the middle of the rainforest. They took the tour of it.

They had lunch at Out of the Whey Teahouse at Mungalli Creek Dairy. Caitlin said it was the best cheesecake she had ever had.

It was here that Brian needed to get the doubts cleared up. He asked her about her career. Would she be willing to move to North Dakota?

"I'm sorry. If I want to be a country music superstar, I need to stay in Nashville. Do you have a problem moving to Nashville?"

"No. It's just that everyone I know is in or near Bismarck. Are you just using this show to further your career, get your music heard by people outside Nashville?"

"Whatever gave you that idea? Of course not. I'm here for you and you only."

Then, Brian asked her about Quinn and if she would be able to give him the necessary attention with her around.

"I won't lie to you. Quinn does need constant attention, but that doesn't mean I would ignore you. Why the interrogation all of a sudden?"
