You never expected your application to The Bachelor to actually be accepted. Now, months later, you are about to step out of the limo and potentially meet your future husband. You watched the previous season of The Bachelorette and instantly fell in love with Spencer. You knew that if he was chosen to be the Bachelor, you would have to apply for the show. When it was announced that he would be the show's next lead when he was sent home after fantasy suites week, you didn't hesitate to throw your hat in the ring in hopes of meeting him. He had a certain awkward charm that captivated you, and you had a feeling you might just be a perfect match. Now, here you are, sitting in a limo with seven other girls who are waiting to start dating the same man. You watch as one by one, the girls exit the limo and introduce themselves to Spencer. Some of them brought props and gimmicks, and you had tried to think of something to do that would make you stand out as well, but decided against it. If he couldn't remember you without any flashy tricks, you figured you were better off heading back home, anyway. Finally, it's your turn to step outside. The limo driver opens the door for you, and you thank him as you step out, your heel clicking on the pavement. You stand and adjust your dress, and then glance up, getting your first in-person look at Spencer. He's standing by the entrance to the mansion, several cameras trained on him as you lock eyes. You can't help as a genuine smile creeps its way across your face. He smiles softly in return. With a deep breath, you steel your nerves and walk towards him.
