Although 2016 has been the year for breakups and all things bad in the world, things might just be looking up. 
Thanks to Instagram, we learned that our favorite Bachelor in Paradise couple, Ashley I and Jared, went on vacation together to the Bahamas with a few other BIP cast members. Along with Carly and Evan and Tanner and Jade, Ashley and Jared got cozy at the Atlantis Resort and it's safe to say that people are FREAKING.
If you remember last season of BIP, Ashley put on quite the show when Caila came along and stole Jared's heart. But since that couple did not last long, we have been anxiously awaiting the day when Jared would go back to Ashley. And apparently the time as come.
Although neither party has actually revealed that they are anything more than friends, Twitter users around the world are jumping to their own conclusions. (Yes, I am a part of that crew, sorry not sorry.)

Let's just all pray that they actually are together and this isn't some sick joke that 2016 is pulling because frankly, I don't think my heart could take it.
