The was interrupted by Joey and Kelsey A.’s “talk.” In case you missed it, the March 11 episode of spiraling over sending him a note card that read, “We need to talk.” As he melted down over the possibility that Kelsey wanted to quit the show, it became clear that she was a frontrunner for the final rose. While the Monday, March 18, episode served as the , the special included Joey and Kelsey’s conversation about the situation — and alas, the ‘s version of “the note” turned out to be less dramatic than the letter written by and to back in 2009 that can still recite. “We made a promise to each other about, like, you know, being honest to each other about communicating our feelings and communication in general,” Kelsey began. “And I know how important all that is. I just wanted you to know exactly how I feel about it all. I just really wanted to verbalize that it’s hard not seeing you and the days in between are always so hard. All these feelings of, like, missing [you] and wondering. … I just want to tell you how much I miss you when you aren’t there.” Joey subsequently let out a big sigh before Kelsey apologized for the scare. “I’m sorry. … Joey, you OK?” “No,” he replied, putting his head in his hands. Kelsey continued to comfort him. “I wanted to come here and tell you that and I wanted to tell you because I don’t know if I said it out loud that, you know, I do want to meet your family. I don’t know if I said it in those words ever,” she said. “I think that a lot of times — I’m sorry.” Joey responded that he was “confused” by the note after the twosome had such a solid night “Your head plays tricks in this and you have moments where you, like …” Joey said before cutting himself off. In a confessional interview, he explained that he “wants to hear” what Kelsey is saying, but he can’t “because of how scared” he was. “I don’t like that I got that [way] off of simple words that meant nothing,” Joey said. “When I do get to that point of thinking something so bad can happen, I shut down. It makes you question everything.” During his conversation with Kelsey, Joey noted that he told her was the woman he picks not feeling the same way. He reiterated that he “holds back” sometimes to protect himself. “I feel bad for stressing him out. If I could do it over again, I would have wrote the letter differently,” Kelsey told ABC cameras. “It wasn’t my intention for him to feel scared or have any stress but he looks like he’s about to cry. Seeing him in that state, it was alarming to me. … I want him to feel excited to see me.” You have successfully subscribed.
