On The Bachelorette's Monday night episode, Fletcher enjoyed a one-on-one date with Jordan in Buenos Aires.

"I couldn't wait to spend the day with Jordan. My last conversation with Jordan had felt strained because it was mostly focused on the 'Jordan-[James Taylor] Great Poker Debacle of 2016' and I knew it was starting to come off as though I was constantly questioning him," Fletcher wrote in her People blog.

"After that week I really wanted to let Jordan know that even though we had these tough conversations, it didn't mean I was going to run from trying to explore our relationship further."

For their date, the couple squished grapes with their feet, drank wine at a vineyard and madeout in a hot tub.

"Taking a private jet to a winery in Mendoza and picking our grapes to attempt to make our own wine (a.k.a grape juice) was so fun. It was our very own I Love Lucy moment. It was the perfect day, but I was looking forward to dinner so we could really sit down and talk," Fletcher wrote.

Jordan seemed fairly certain he was going to get a rose, so he decided to open up more about his family since their next date together would be in his hometown of Chico, CA.

"My middle brother won't be there," Jordan told Fletcher. "Aaron, like I said, I have a great relationship with my brother Luke. Me and Aaron really don't have much of a relationship."

Jordan continued in the broadcast, "It's just kind of the way he's chosen to do life, and I chose to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother. Yeah, it's not ideal, and I love him."

After telling Fletcher he had no hard feelings toward Aaron, Jordan revealed he barely talks to his brother and so Aaron didn't even know about his The Bachelorette participation.

"No [we don't talk]. Not really," Jordan noted. "But it's okay. I think it's just important to know where I'm at and where I stand."

Fletcher said in her blog that her conversation with Jordan that day made a huge impact on her.

"Everything Jordan shared with me at dinner really opened my eyes up to the man that he is. Hearing him talk about his experiences, living in the shadow of his brother and the pain of not having Aaron in his life really hit home with me," Fletcher wrote.

"That was the first time I saw this incredibly vulnerable and honest side to Jordan. He opened up about issues that aren't the easiest to talk about and it meant a lot to know he trusted me enough to share these things."

The couple's date wrapped with Jordan telling the Bachelorette he was in love with her and couldn't wait for his family to fall in love with her as well.

"Hearing him tell me he was in love with me for the first time was the perfect ending to what I would say was the best day we had shared together," Fletcher said.
