Greg Grippo's beat work on The Bachelorette is incredible. The man can deliver a line, then let it sit and sizzle until all the air has been sucked out of the room. And on Monday's hometown episode of The Bachelorette, Greg turned on Katie during their conversation "on a couch in New Jersey." It was a convo filled with just a few phrases and a lot of very loud, but silent, beats.

Up until Greg discovered that there's a chance he might not be Katie's number one guy in the group, it seemed like Katie and Greg were in love. Well, clearly Greg was in love with Katie, but ... did Katie love Greg back? That was the million dollar question, and Greg needed an answer. When he told her, more or less, that he was excited to propose, Katie was like, "I just love looking at you."

It was brutal.

Here's a play-by-play of what went down. Watch how Greg's face just ... changes.

Greg: "I know in my heart I won't have any regrets after this. I'm not gonna get down on one knee twice. It's a one deal thing for me."

Katie stares at Greg, silent.

Greg: "What?"

Katie: "I just love looking at you."

Greg looks down, and rubs his nose. Then looks over her shoulder, to the side, and starts to tear up.
