Sure, I want Blake to stick around and find love\u2014that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re here for. But then, Blake would have to watch <strong>Hannah<\/strong> [<strong>Godwin<\/strong>] and <strong>Dylan<\/strong> [<strong>Barbour<\/strong>] together,&#8221; she said,&nbsp;referencing Godwin&#8217;s decision to pursue a relationship with Barbour after also forming a romantic connection with Horstmann. &#8220;He accepted my rose. In a way, he&#8217;s choosing to stay in his personal hell\u2026.Yeah, it&#8217;s kind of mean, but it&#8217;s Blake we&#8217;re talking about.
