But ABC producers have now exposed fans to the other side of made-for-TV romance: the anatomy of a break-up. At 5:22 p.m. Monday, hours before the winner was revealed,a post titled [“Andi’s Mystery Letter”](https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-bachelorette/andis-mystery-letter/10153069282652846 "undefined") appeared on the show’s official Facebook page. We now know the content to be the musings of _Bachelorette_ loser Nick Viall, who sported a face more sullen than guest star Grumpy Cat during Monday night’s three-hour season finale. During the “After the Final Rose” special, producers showed footage of Nick attempting to confront Andi face-to-face (apparently for the second time) during the taping of the “Men Tell All” special. After the now-engaged Dorfman refused to see him, producers handed her a note–now available for all the Internet to see. “You lit me up,” Viall writes in a letter best read while listening to Adele in the background. --- > “” --- The rest can be read [here](https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-bachelorette/andis-mystery-letter/10153069282652846 "undefined").
