Everyone gets the chance to go through a life-changing experience, but not everybody gets to do it in Paris, so it is only right that The Bachelor winner Sarah Stone feels grateful for being given the chance to not only fight for her possible life partner, but also to spend week after week in the romantic French capital city.



In talking about finding the possible life partner, much emphasis must be put on the word ?possible,? as Stone and Bachelor Dr. Travis Lane Stork announced their break up fourth months after the eighth season of the show wrapped up. Utterly sad but true; even his good looks and medical degree were not enough to convince Stone to maintain the relationship.

Given the short period of time that Stone and Stork did spend as a couple, is it fair to say that what transpired in television was nothing more than another attempt to win the attention of the millions of hopeless romantics out there? Probably not, judging by how Stone explained the rationale behind their break-up. Apparently, Stone and Stork had a wonderful time together in Paris, but when they returned to the United States, everything seemed to just fall out of place. So, it wasn't so much that their relationship wasn't real, it was more the fact that Paris did not provide a more realistic environment for their relationship to thrive in. This makes total sense since a good number of people often escape to romantic places such as Paris to rekindle passion and excitement with their respective partners. The problem for Stone and Stork was they weren't trying to rekindle anything; they were trying to embark on a new beginning, and laying the foundation on a totally romantic but escapist environment doesn't always do good to a relationship.

Nevertheless, breaking up doesn't equal to falling out, and Stone claimed that she will maintain a friendly bond with Stork, which means that there may still be hope for a reconciliation.
