Moments later, she found herself in an embrace that captured both Chris and the countrys heart. Later that night, Chris confirmed the intensity of that embrace when he handed Britt the coveted first impression rose. And with that, a love affair began to blossom.

As Chriss journey evolved, no onecertainly none of the other girlscould deny the connection between Britt and the handsome farmer. Their kisses were passionate, their conversations intimate.
