</div><br/>Once the sun set, a text rolled in to the Islanders, making all of their phones chime simultaneously and requesting for them all to head over to the firepit at once.<br/><br/>Laura Whitmore, host of the show, suddenly stepped down the steps from the Villa and made her way down the stairs, to the backyard. The string lights from above them all lit up at once, lighting the Villa in a pale yellow glow, despite the sunset in the distance.<br/><br/>“Hello, Islanders!” Laura called out to them all, looking at everyone once they were all seated on the round couch at the firepit. “It’s time for your second re-coupling. But, we need to go over a few things.”<br/><br/>She folded one leg in front of the other and settled her hands on her hips. “First, there will be no more stealing from this point forward. The re-coupling ceremonies are a chance to re-couple, or create a new couple. There will be no opportunities to steal anyone else.”<br/><br/>Laura then titled her head. “It is the girls choice this time and I will be asking each girl, one at a time, to step up to where I am now, to make their decision.” Laura was facing everyone, standing just in front of the firepit. She pointed to the ground, where she was, for reference.<br/><br/>“Once they choose the guy that they want to couple up with, they will join him and sit beside him for the remainder of the ceremony.” Laura went on.<br/><br/>“Please keep in mind that your choice is meant to be who you want to be in a couple with. Who you see a potential future with. And who you want to share a bed with.” She added a sneaky little smirk at the end. “This is the start of your Love Island journey. And the public are watching your every move. Best not to forget that.”<br/><br/>With a nod, she motioned toward Dom. “Dominika, you are up first. Please stand beside me and make your choice of any of the boys. Tell us why you want to choose this boy, first. And then reveal who it is.”
