They then shared a passionate kiss, but the moment proved to be short-lived after Andrew asked Jess if she could see herself moving to the farm.
‘It’s beautiful here, and I know that this is where your life is. I know this is where your family is and your work is and all your friends are. And that’s what it’s like for me in Melbourne,’ she told him.
She added: ‘It’s a big thing to ask someone to move here.’

Her candid admission prompted Andrew to question if she was serious about envisioning a future with him.
‘What I guess I’m asking is if it’s never going to happen, then why waste our time?’ he asked her.
Jess later admitted: ‘Part of me wants Andrew and this life with him, and another part of me wants my career in Melbourne, and my friends and family around me all the time.

‘They are two different worlds and I am in a bit of an inner battle, trying to figure out where I’m at.’
Jess told Andrew their relationship would involve a lot of ‘long distance’, which forced him to concede: ‘It’s probably not going to work.’
‘It feels like a really big commitment right now, and I don’t know if I’m able to say 100 per cent in six months time I’ll be here,’ she said.
