The week had gone fast, and today was The Report, also the night that Fitz was going to eliminate 3 girls. And in only two weeks he was going to propose to one of the girls that had made it to the final three. 

The camera man had just finished counting down and the cameras turned on. 

"Hello people of Everglen! You're here on The Report! 2 months ago we had started with 26 girls in the selection and now we're down to our last 8. Now Prince tell us, have you already chosen who you want as queen of Everglen?" she asked. 

"Almost, Marella, almost." 

"If your kids have a selection could I be the host?" she asked. 

"We'll see Marella," he answered. And so that was how it went. Marella tried to get as many details but couldn't really get anything out of him. Once The Report was finished we all went to the dining hall. Everyone took there seats and plates of food got set on the table. There was barely any conversation at the table which was kind of awkward. I played with my food and everyone's eyes shot up, when they saw Fitz standing up. 

"It hurts to have to do this... but I've had such fun with each and every one of you all. You are all very amazing girls and I've loved getting to know you all. But the three girls that I will be eliminating tonight are Lindsay Adams, Monica Pearson, and Linh Song." Instead of standing up, Linh gave me a big hug. 

"You better invite me to your wedding or else I'm inviting myself," I smiled and we broke apart. 

"I'll miss you Linh." 

"I'll miss you too Sophie, and stay in touch with me," I smile and nodded and she followed the two other girls out of the dining hall. 

"Congrats to the 5 of you left!" he blabbed on some more before we all left to our bedroom. It was going to be weird without Linh, she was the only friend I had made in the selection. And then I realized I was in the final 5. I was so close to the end. Fitz was going to propose to someone in 2 weeks. 

I made my way in the room and saw Biana and my maids playing cards. 

"Hey guys." 

"Hey! Oh my god! You're so close to being queen and then eventually my sister!" Biana squealed. 

"So B, how was your date today?" 

"It was so amazing! Tam is so nice, he and surprised me with a necklace. You know Soph... I think I might actually be in love with him," she said. 

"I'm so happy for you B! You need to introduce us! And I'm sure you two make the cutest couple," she blushed. 

"Oooh I have a great idea!" 

"What?" 

"I can't tell you," she said, a big smile on her face. 

"Come on B, just tell me," she shook her head and didn't say a word. I left the subject alone and sat down on the floor besides Tiffany and Biana. 

"What you guys playing?" I ask.

"Spoons," Amelia answered. 

"Can I play?" 

"Next round," Mary answered. 

"You can take my spot Soph, I should be heading to bed anyways," Biana said. She gave a quick good night and left the room. I took her place in the game and ended up winning. Tiffany, who had lost, groaned and pouted. 

"I should be heading to bed, good night girls," they stood up. 

"Are you sure you don't need anything?" I nodded. 

"Yes, good night," they returned it back and left the room. I changed into pajamas and got all the pins out of my hair and put it in a simple ponytail. I turned off the lights and fell asleep. 

(Time skip a week because I'm super lazy) 

I put on my dress and the girls helped me with my hair and make up and I made my way to breakfast, where Fitz was eliminating the last 2 girls. They were skipping The Report this week, although I don't know why, but Fitz was going to propose to someone next week on the Report. 

Once everyone was finished with dinner, Fitz stood up and started talking. 

"And the girls in the final three are Aubree Tom, Luna Terlop, and Sophie Ruewen. Congrats, you are all in the final three," My heart started racing. I was in the freaking final three. The two girls gave Fitz quick hugs and left the dining hall. 

Fitz let us leave and we made our way to our bedrooms. 

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! I'm in the final three!" I squealed to myself. The girls burst in my room and squealed. 

"You're in the final three! Yay!" Amelia squealed. 

"I wonder how he'll propose," Tiffany wondered. 

"I wonder how the ring is going to be like, he better pick something good, or else I will make him return it," Mary said. 

"Calm down. He won't be proposing to someone until next week. So slow your roll," they continued squealing and we talking about how the wedding and coronation would look like. I rolled my eyes at the excited girls a small smile reaching my lips. 

I got myself ready for bed and fell right asleep. 

(Another time skip just 'cause)

It was now two days before The Report and I was beyond excited. Me and Fitz we walking in the gardens and he took me to our secret spot a picnic set up. It reminded me of our first date. 

"Fitz... this is wonderful!" I turned around 360  and even though I've seen it several times, but it was always more beautiful every time I saw it. When I stopped and turned to Fitz, he was down on one knee, a small ring box in his hand.
