Mitchell was a complete gentleman, gathering snacks for Larisa and even taking her up 30 feet in the air for a private hot air balloon ride! Neither wanted the night to end, so Mitchell took Larisa out to a few spots in Atlanta before taking her home. Mitchell was trying to figure out if Larisa was seeing someone else. Larisa evaded every opportunity. Finally, she caved and told him she was seeing someone. Rather than begging for her hand, he left it up to her.
