The time seemed to fly at a remarkably slow rate. Or was that just a personal perception? Whatever it was, the rest of the day has managed to slow down into a crawl. There were way too many emotions rushing in all of a sudden and no small amounts of confusion. What little time was left, he spent with Arisa, at least as much as it was possible until it was time for him to go and prepare. A shower, thorough one at that, a splash of cologne and it was time to check out what would he wear. If he knew beforehand just how much he would have to dress up for the occassion, he would've brought a bigger suitcase... though that just meant dragging a larger case for the same amount of clothes. In that regard, he was quite functional, preferring necessity over vanity.<br/>
<br/>
And what was his choice?<br/>
<br/>
Dark jeans, white shirt and perhaps a light jacket. For all the heat that the summer provides during the day, evenings seem to be quite cool... It was easy to forget just how much of an oven it was to live in any large city, where asphalt radiates its accumulated heat deep into the night. But not here, not in the wide-open world... The wind, pleasant as it was, could easy become cold and he would not allow himself to shiver next to any girl. He looked himself in the mirror as he was fixing his clothes, just to make sure he looks like a proper gentleman before heading out.<br/>
<br/>
The crowd gathered before he even arrived and Marcus gave a few greetings to those who would look at him, just an act of courtesy. He sat down and waited patiently for the whole 'show' to start. Looking around, he was almost certain that he could guess who will be coupled with whom this evening... after all... they did spend the whole day getting to know one another. Most had done so with only one other person, keeping others as more of background conversations. Then, the main event started and he had little doubt that everyone else felt the same kind of nervousness as he did. That first pick seemed like a safe bet and it was not a surprise that Dom would pick Hans.<br/>
<br/>
No... The surprise came right afterward. He looked toward Rebeckah, and any expectation he might have had was blown right out of the sky! Did she choose... him? For a moment, he looked left and right, almost as if there was another Marcus in the audience. Then came the second possible theory: that she said the wrong name. The third, and final, possibility was that he heard wrong... that all this rush of adrenaline and pumping of blood caused by elevated heart rate, made his mind play a trick on him. It wouldn't be outrageous to think of such a thing, it happened before and to better people than him. None of that was the case. Rebeckah was looking directly at him, more so, she walked over and sat right next to him. He shared her inner thoughts, though neither of them mentioned it out loud, and it was true that he barely uttered more than a couple of words with her. Granted, he was busy with his own partner and trying not to poke his nose into other people's relationships. All of that contributed to the fact that there was just not enough time for him to get to know other people, much less get to know them well.<br/>
<br/>
So, why him?<br/>
<br/>
Nevertheless, once she sat next to him, he offered a sincere smile and his hand for a shake, as if they were making the first contact now <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Looks like we'll have a lot of time to talk now."</span> He added, still keeping his smile. Arisa was next to make the choice, and given that the current pairing was broken, it was natural to believe that she would go for someone else, someone she might fancy herself. He would lie if he said that everything was in perfect order, though he knew what he was getting into the moment he signed his name on the application. But he would not be rude, not now and certainly not toward someone who, most likely, had to make a difficult choice.<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"So why me of all the guys, Fräulein (miss)?"</span> he turned to look toward Rebeckah, genuinely curious what she would say. The woman had a wide choice and he was certain that she made a connection with Victor. Seems that he was wrong.​</div>
