Prologue

August 2017

"As 'The Men Tell All' and final episode of "The Bachelorette" ended last night, it revealed the new Bachelor for next season: Edward Cullen."

"Well Sherry, I don't know about you, but I'm not too sure how I feel about Edward at this point in time. He was the fourth to last to get kicked off the show this past season after a shocking reveal about his virginity. He's a twenty-nine-year-old virgin!"

"Oh, come on Roger, it's not that funny," but by the end of her sentence neither one of the news anchors could hold in their laughter. "Maybe there's a reason he hasn't had sex yet! If you know what I mean," Sherry chokes out as she wiggles her eyebrows suggestively. Another boisterous round of laughter fills up the filming area, this time, the camera men and the rest of the crew join in.

"Maybe he's had some small problems in his life that have made it hard to have a connection with someone, Sherry!" Roger tries to get out but ends up laughing so hard towards the end of his statement that he ends up sounding like a clapping seal.

Sherry laughs so hard she has tears rolling down her eyes. It's several moments before she gets herself together enough to respond. "What I don't understand, is how someone that hot has gone so long with only one significant relationship in his and yet, has never had any sexual relations with a partner. It's just not normal. Are we missing something here? I mean, sure, he kissed Becca during "The Bachelorette" this past season, but are we sure he's not into guys?"

"It's always the ones you never expect, Sherry. Fans are going crazy over Edward being the new Bachelor. Why not Colin, Becca's runner up as the new Bachelor or even the second runner up, Paul? Why did the producers choose Becca's third runner up as the new Bachelor?"

"I don't know, Roger, but social media is blowing up about it. This new season of "The Bachelor" is being called the most controversial one yet, and it doesn't even have any contestants, also known as love interests! But I guess I can't blame the girls of the United States, I don't know how I'd feel about my potential new love of my life being a virgin at twenty-nine!"

"Well, there you have it folks. If you or someone you know have any interest in trying to find love with Mr. Edward Cullen on the new season of the Bachelor, please go online and fill out the application. We will see what happens!"
