* Omniscient POV *

Lewis Hamilton stood in front of a large mirror, carefully adjusting his tuxedo. The room was quiet, though tension filled the rest of the mansion. As he fixed his tie and smoothed his jacket, the seriousness of the night weighed on him. It was the night of the rose ceremony, a crucial point in his journey. Taking a deep breath, Lewis looked at his reflection, thinking about the relationships he had built over the past weeks. Each laugh, conversation, and moment with the contestants replayed in his mind. He felt the heavy responsibility of choosing who would stay and who would leave.

Lewis: (in voice-over) "Tonight is going to be tough. These four incredible women—Ariel, Khaylah, Madina, and Lauren—each mean so much to me. But I can only keep three. The decision weighs heavily on me, knowing I'll have to break someone's heart."

(Heading out to begin the rose ceremony, he ran into Jesse Palmer.)

Jesse Palmer: " You ready?"

Lewis: "As ready as I'll ever be. This never gets easier."

Jesse Palmer: " Just remember why you're here. Follow your heart, and everything else will fall into place."

Lewis: "Thanks, Jesse. I needed that."

(He said, his voice serious, as he entered the room. It was beautifully decorated with candles and roses, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere for a memorable evening. The four remaining women stood in a line, each looking stunning. Jesse stepped forward calmly, ready to guide them through the ceremony. His reassuring presence helped bring some order to the emotional setting.)

Jesse Palmer: "Ladies, tonight is a significant night. Lewis has only three roses to give, meaning one of you will be going home. Lewis, whenever you're ready."

(He stepped forward, his heart racing as he looked at the four women in front of him. Each had made a special impact on his life, making this moment very difficult. He took a deep breath to calm himself. The decision he had to make felt almost overwhelming, and the air was full of anticipation and unspoken feelings.)

Lewis: "I just want to say how much you all mean to me. This journey has been incredible because of each of you. This decision is not easy."

(He said as he picked up the first rose and took a moment to gather his thoughts. The rose symbolized the connection and future he saw with one of these special women. Looking at Madina, he called her name first.)
