Despite being one of this season’s most solid couples — they were even crowned “Most Likely to Live Happily Ever After” duringParadiseprom night — Heringer and Erb ended upcalling it quitsas Fantasy Suites approached.
“I wasn’t trying to blindside you. Like, I loved the entire time we’ve had,” Erb said, to which Heringer asked, “But why wait until now [to end the relationship]?”
“I wasn’t even the one that was initiating that conversation [about being in love]. You were,” she continued. “You were pushing me to open up. I mean, that hurts. And I know you can feel how you want to feel. It’s just if you knew you were feeling that way, you don’t say [‘I love you’].”
“At the end of the day, I just wasn’t your person,” Erb replied. “Like, you shouldn’t hold that against yourself at all.”
