probably the same age, late 20s, but they were worlds apart.
    Cooper’s idea of a good time was tailgating and drinking beer. Which she had always thought was really fun, but only because she got to spend time with Cooper.
    She didn’t know Ky very well yet, but she could tell he was much, much different. He seemed like the type of guy that would take her out for a nice dinner or even cook for her at home. Something really fancy, like Chicken Cordon Bleu or Chicken Piccata or another Italian dish.
    And he probably knew a lot about wine, like which wine went best with which dish. Something she could never figure out for the life of her, and something Cooper could have cared less about.
    Ky was just so sophisticated. If she got eliminated today, she didn’t know what she would do. She had to be on her best behavior. Even though the only thing she felt like doing was curling up in a ball and drinking ginger ale all day long.
    She scurried down the path to meet Ky halfway. It was the perfect chance to say hello before the other women spotted him and descended like vultures.
    “Hiiii, Ky!” she squealed with delight.
    She couldn’t help herself. Looking at him and even getting the chance to be next to him made her so, so happy.
    Ky grinned back at her. “Hey, Brinkley! How did you sleep?”
    Brinkley didn’t know how to answer that. She felt like death warmed over. She looked behind Ky and saw that he was trailed by five cameramen, just like the night before. It seemed like that was going to be the norm during the show, but it still took some getting used to.
    She slipped her arm through his and walked with him the rest of the way up the path to the pool. “Oh, pretty good! I think all of that champagne went to my head because I am exhausted today!”
    “Well, I hope you saved some energy. I have a really fun day in store for all of you ladies, and I can’t wait to get started.” Ky winked.
    He took the next twenty minutes to greet the women one by one. She understood that he was here to try to make a personal connection and find true love, but it took for-ev-er to say hello and goodbye when you factored in eleven other women.
    Ky finally stepped away from the group and cleared his throat. All five cameras were pointed at him, waiting for what seemed like an important announcement.
    Ky pulled another silver card from his back pocket and opened it. “Okay, ladies. I’m sure you’re excited to find out what’s in store for us today. I’m going to read out the groups for the mini dates, and then we’ll get started.”
    “Group 1—Sarah M., Amber, Cori, and Samantha. Group 2—Kylie, Brinkley, Harper, and Kendra. Group 3—Sarah S., Morgan, Kymm, and Lindsay. And without further ado, I would love to start with the lovely ladies in Group Number One. If you follow me this way, we’ll be having brunch on the beach, followed by some kayaking.”
    Darn! She loved kayaking and any kind of outdoor activity, for that matter. That would have been something where she could have really showed her true colors in order to impress Ky with her athletic ability.
    It worried her that she was in a group with someone like Harper. Harper seemed to naturally be the center of attention. The kind of woman that all men gravitated to. There was no way she was going to stand a chance against her in winning the medallion, but, hopefully, she wouldn’t be the first eliminated. That would be devastating.
    She decided to use the old “catch more flies with honey” approach. She took the free time to sit down next to Harper and enjoy a glass of orange juice. She tried to jump in the conversation that Harper was having with Lindsay, but the women didn’t pay any attention to her. They were only interested in talking strategy.
    “Clearly, each group has a weak member. So all you have to do is focus on the girl’s weaknesses to make them seem even more obvious to Ky, and she’ll be the one eliminated,” Harper announced to Lindsay.
    “What
