What in the World …
The producer’s “secret” favor clearly has to do with Bachelor Nation. The reality stud’s journey to find love has ended but getting down on one knee seems like a logical next step.
One of the biggest indicators that this project has to do with Cassie, 23, is that the island of Mallorca is mentioned. Cassie and Colton broke up in Portugal but headed to Spain once they reunited.

Living a Regular Life
They continued, “They’re waiting to see if their feelings continue to grow to marriage-level commitment. She really does want to see if it will work for them 100 percent, and in order to do that, she realizes she needs to take it at a normal pace.”

Thoughts From Social Media
Fans have also pointed out that Cassie and Colton could be waiting until being engaged or married before moving in together because of their conservative upbringing. The football stud getting down on one knee would definitely expedite the process.

The Push She Needed
That’s not to say that Colton doesn’t affect her decisions. The source noted, “Cassie had been planning for a while to move to the Los Angeles area but was waiting for the right time and wanted to save money. The timing is perfect now because Colton, of course, lives close by — only a few minutes away.”

Looking Ahead
A separate source revealed, “Everything is still the same … [They are] really happy enjoying this time together and can’t wait to see what’s in store for them in the future.”
“We still have a lot of room to grow in our relationship right now, so we’re enjoying dating right now,” Colton told the talk show host at the time. “We are going to be spending a lot of time together as well, so we have had the conversations, but we aren’t going to rush anything. We are still going to be together every single day. We are so excited right now.” The athlete is obviously crazy about the Huntington Beach native so it seems like a proposal is only a matter of time.
