He watched her for a moment, seemingly in deep thought for a that small bit of time, and when she uttered what was on her mind, he couldn’t help but smile and let out a soft but deep chuckle. He shook his head, “indeed, I could…I very much could.” His eyes moved for a moment to glance at the other girl, before returning to look at Val barely a second later. “But, I feel like if I put too much of blinders on my eyes, I might miss out on something…or some<i>body</i>…far better for me.” He gave Val a gentle, but knowing smile, with a subtle wink of his right eye, his voice soft. “You know…happy accidents and all that.”<br/><br/>With his expression back to normal, a wide and cheery grin replacing the subtle one from before, Terry held his hand out to Val. “Til next time, Valerie.” If she took it, he’d just gently squeeze her hand, and bounce it softly once before letting it go.<br/><br/>Terrence would then turn around and make his way inside the Villa, though not before taking another glance at the couples still eating. He thought about what Val said and let only a huff of a chuckle pass through his nose. If it ever came to that, he’d certainly explore it, though perhaps not in a way many would expect. He overheard one of the things said by the veteran islander he admitted to having an eye on, and it took everything inside the man not to cringe.<br/><br/>Once inside, he looked around and saw a few people milling about the kitchen, overhearing just a bit of the conversation just before they seemed to go and move it to the nook. “What’s this about a Black Beauty?” He exclaimed as he strode up to them with a wave and a big white smile. “Please, you flatter me.” He waved a hand over his face, feigning cooling off a nonexistent blush. “At least wait for the date to say things like that.”<br/><br/>Terrence laughed, shaking his head. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it. It was just the perfect setup. The name’s Terrence, or just Terry.” He introduced himself, offering a large hand first to the girl to shake, “You must be Grace,” and then over towards the gentleman, “and you must be Matt. Sorry if it seemed like I was just trying to schmooze up your girl there, I wasn’t. Just saw an opportunity for some wordplay and jumped on it.” He laughed with his big smile.
