</div><b>Name:</b>Matt Moreno<br/><b>Age:</b>28<br/><b>Sexuality:</b>Heterosexual<br/><b>Hometown:</b>Los Angeles, CA<br/><b>Date/Time:</b>Sunday, July 4th, 2021 - recoupling ceremony<br/><b>Location:</b>Villa Firepit<br/><b>Wearing:</b>As pictured, with khaki pants<br/><b>Coupled With:</b>Arisa Victoria Taylor<br/><b>Tagging:</b>All | OPEN<br/><hr class="bbc-hr"/><br/>Everything seemed to be happening so fast, and Matt just thought he could not keep up with it all.  Sitting beside Arisa, he felt his heart getting quite tight in his chest at the dejected look on Grace’s face, which definitely matched his he was sure.  As the moment went on, with Brook stepping up and spilling her feelings on Leon (how had he missed it being so bad?!), it felt like his chest got even tighter in sympathy for the young girl who had kissed him in the competition.  Could his chest hurt more?  Would a heart attack right now do wonders for the show, or what?<br/><br/>When Olivia spoke up and offered to take Leon off of Brook’s hands, while the young girl was being comforted by Danny who looked like he wanted to fight the whole show,  Matt thought how that must feel like a slap in the face for the guy.  Of course, not a second after he had that thought than Arisa was patting his knee (PATTING HIS KNEE) and stepping up with the same offer.  JEEZ.  He was thinking she had only picked him to stay on the show, or as a ‘safe’ bet since her guy was already gone, but she didn’t have to so much as confirm it.  He felt nice that everyone wanted to help Brook, but ooof.  That one smarted.<br/><br/>Still reeling from that a little, and with his face growing more sour by the second, Matt listened to Laura’s instructions, and quickly entered his vote.  It sucked to send someone home already, but he knew how he was going to have to vote.  Not long after, the tallies were revealed and Leon and Rebeckah were given the boot.  Damn, what a rough run Leon had, Matt thought, although Brook did make it seem like he had it coming.  Knowing nothing of that situation, Matt wasn’t  one to judge.<br/><br/>If he thought his night of problems was over though, he was SUPER wrong, as Laura mentioned that someone had to pair up with Marcus, and Matt felt Grace maybe jumped on that one a little TOO eagerly.  I mean, clearly she was using it as a bit of an excuse to get back at Arisa, but she could have done that by staying single too.  Scowling ever deeper, Matt sat further back on the couch, crossing his arms and symbolically walling himself off from the islanders.
