Every time she happened to pass Leon, she didn't even look his direction before putting a finger up and sternly saying "Don't." She hadn't given him a single chance to try apologizing again. He had hurt her and right now, she just needed to figure out what she was going to do at the recoupling.<br/><br/>When the phone went off telling everybody to get out to the firepit, Cassie knew she couldn't just show up. It was already about as formal of an occasion as things got on Love Island, unless you were on a date... But there was someone who needed to regret every bad choice they had made so far. So she put her all into her look, picking a dress that accentuated her curves to go with the makeup that pulled the attention to her eyes. She still wasn't sure who she would couple up with, but either way, she was coming for blood. Leon was going to regret mugging her off earlier if she had anything to say about it.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(46, 139, 87)">The Recoupling...</span><br/><br/>The recoupling had started out making sense. Dom chose Hans which was no surprise to anybody. The two were solidified when they fucked in front of everybody...unless someone new came in to rock that boat. Speaking of rocking the boat, it turned out that Rebeckah was up next which confused Cassie. She assumed the producers must have had some method to their madness but the second Rebeckah made her choice, it seemed all sanity was lost from this recoupling.<br/><br/>Rebeckah had chosen Marcus whom Cassie didn't think she'd ever seen talk to the brunette. That left Arisa to have to choose someone else. To which she responded with choosing Matt. If Rebeckah hadn't done enough with whatever happened between herself, Victor, and Olivia, she seemed to have managed to break up every couple that seemed to be getting strong. Cassie couldn't help but smirk at both of those chaotic choices.<br/><br/>Then Olivia was up and sanity seemed to return to the villa. Or maybe that was just because of the three guys who were left, there was only one who Cassie could assume the girl would give the time of day. Which left Victor and Leon between herself, Brook, and Grace. If luck was going to be on her side, she would have been the next girl up, left with the one remaining guy.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, luck was not on her side as Laura called her up to make the final decision. If there could have been any worse situation for Cassie to find herself in, she couldn't think of one. Sure, she had stepped forward for every guy but the two that had done something to actually catch her attention were the two she had to decide between.<br/><br/>There was Leon who she had had a fairly pleasant evening and following morning with. He had made her laugh when he joined in on her silly antics and hadn't been too hard on her when she screwed up just about every yoga position he had tried to teach her. Of course, he had made her get up at the asscrack of dawn. And then there was the big one: He had mugged her off right in front of everyone... in front of all the cameras... in front of the entire nation when he pulled her in for a kiss and practically threw her aside like a pile of garbage at the competition. If she chose him, wouldn't she just be solidifying her standing as the villa mugg?<br/><br/>Then there was Victor. He had been the first to truly catch her eye when he stepped forward for Juan, showing that he knew how to not take himself too seriously and just have fun. He had slipped from her radar when he coupled up with Olivia and became attached at the hip to her. And then of course there was that whole situation with Beckah, whatever that was. But Beckah had chosen someone else after all of that. And Victor had been there when she needed someone to keep her from going straight off the rails. With the knowledge that a guy might be going home, would picking him leave her single again?<br/><br/>Neither guy was a perfect choice right in that moment but as Cassandra stood up, pulling the hem of her dress down to make sure there wasn't a wardrobe malfunction, she smirked over at Leon. Whether she picked Victor or Leon, this was her chance to make Leon squirm, possibly make him realize just what exactly he had tossed aside like yesterday's newspaper, make him realize exactly how much he had hurt her.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Laura, but am I really that old?" She joked about her fellow Irishwoman calling her a lass as she took her place. The accent her voice had held most of the day had completely disappeared. Instead, she spoke plainly with a standard English inflection to be sure everyone could understand her.<br/><br/>As she stood up there, Cassie looked between the two remaining girls and guys. There was no way to know what was going to happen next or base her decision on the girl she thought would be "stuck" with whomever she didn't choose. From what Cassie could tell from the prior evening, Leon was not exactly in good standing with Brook. However, this morning's events made the redhead wonder if Victor was the hot water when it came to Grace.<br/><br/>"So I want to couple up with this guy this evening because..." She started, trying to choose her words carefully. She worried that a slip of words might lead to it being all too evident who she was going to choose before she actually said anything. "Honestly, he's been on my radar since basically this whole thing started. He may not have chosen me at first but I think I caught his attention at the right moment."<br/><br/>Cassie could feel the soft smile that started to light up her face as she thought about the reasons she was choosing the guy she was. "This guy is a total craic and just makes me laugh."  With all the practice that she had speaking in the standard English, Cassie couldn't help but let a little of her own accent peak through with words of her homeland.<br/><br/>"He's got good banter and he knows how to not take himself too seriously." So far, Cassie thought she was doing a pretty good job of being able to describe either of these guys with what she was saying. But at this point, she knew which of the two she was going to give a second chance. But the smile that lit up thinking about his good qualities turned into a bit of a frown as she considered what she would say next.<br/><br/>"This guy seems to have made at least one bad decision so far. But sometimes..." She looked at the rest of the group, her eyes pleading with hope that they would listen to her if it came time. Besides, she probably needed as much of a second chance as he did. "We all make mistakes. Sometimes we all need a second chance to prove that that mistake does not define who we are. I am choosing to give this guy a second chance because I believe he can be more than his mistake."<br/><br/>Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she just couldn't let herself end on such a serious note. So smiling, she opened her eyes back up again and looked towards the group. "Besides, he's fit and crazy enough to talk to my crazy arse. So the guy I am choosing to couple up with this evening is..."<br/><br/>She waited the suspense building time, looking back and forth between the two guys who were left. Her eyes lingered on Leon a bit longer just before she closed them and listed off the name of the guy she was choosing to couple up with. "Victor."<br/><br/>A smile spread from ear to ear as she walked across the firepit to join the guy she had chosen to couple up with. Sure, they hadn't had too long of a chance to talk before the Love Island Gods decided to throw a wrench into their conversation. But everything she said, she had meant. And when she finally reached him, she wasted no time before gripping a bit of his shirt to pull him in for a second kiss.<br/><br/>"Now, you really better make it through this whole thing." She quietly whispered to him as she took the seat beside him. She wasn't afraid to nudge his shoulder with her own to make sure he knew she was messing around...kind of. "I don't want to wind up single because my guy disappeared on me again."
