As Bachelor in Paradise comes to an end, the remaining couples must figure out where their relationships stand.
In an exclusive clip from PEOPLE from Thursday Paradise finale, Kylee Russell expresses that she wants her time with Aven Jones to lead to an engagement.
“I don’t know if he still just doesn’t want to get engaged,” Kylee, 25, says in an on-camera interview at the preview.

When Kylee comes face-to-face with Avena, 29, he tells her he’s been “going back to our foundation since the beginning of this” as he ponders how to move forward.
“It just makes me so hopeful for us, how well we get along and how much we have in common,” Aven, who appeared on Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey Bachelor season, says Kylee. “I know the engagement aspect is important to you, but I just don’t want it to be a detriment to why we’re not even trying.”

Kylee tries to understand.
“I hear all these things you’re saying, I just love it, I feel like if you’re so sure about me, I’m literally telling you that’s you. It’s like I’m telling you literally,” she tells Aveno. “And therefore you must understand where I doubt.”
Aven asks her the ultimate question: “If we don’t get engaged, are we done?”
Kylee will give her answer during Thursday Bachelor in Paradise season 9 finale Ex Bachelor The Season 27 contestant expressed strong feelings for Aven from the get-go Paradisetelling host Jesse Palmer when she arrived that she hoped to meet Aven because of the interaction they had on social media, such as Aven commenting on a fire emoji on one of her selfies.
“If he had gotten down on one knee, I would have been ready to say ‘yes,'” Kylee told Jesse, 45.

The former NFL pro thought her feelings may have been premature. “Social media is the only interaction you’ve had with this man?” he asked. Kylie confirmed that yes, they only communicated online.
Kylee ended up going on a date with Will Uren before Aven showed up, but since Aven came along, they’ve been solid.
“I would love to wake up next to him every day for the rest of my life,” Kylee told the cameras after her first date with Avena.
