Grace refused the ginger's offer of a talk. Instead, she found something else to go do, completely disappearing into the villa. Matt didn't waste much time before he followed right after the platinum blonde too. While Cassie had offered to be a friend and hear Grace out, she didn't mind that Grace instead pulled Matt away so she could spend some time alone with Victor...or at least as alone as it really got in the villa.<br/><br/>But Hans and Dom seemed to have other ideas as they made their way over to the bar. So, it seemed, did Victor as he quickly moved from a quick look at her to rushing off again. If Victor had turned around before leaving, he might have noticed the sad expression on Cassie's face. When Cassie had picked Victor, she had done so thinking the two of them might be good together, that they might have fun. She had thought Victor might have agreed. But twice, he had run off before even really talking to<i>her. </i>And twice, he had what might have seemed like good reasons if they had actually had the time to really talk within the first couple days. But now? Right now, Cassie was starting to wonder if she was going to be the next Olivia. She had already been the second Brook... Did she really need to keep learning these lessons the hard way?<br/><br/>"No, you're better than this." Cassie quietly scolded herself for letting herself worry again. Victor was doing nothing wrong by trying to say his final goodbyes to Rebeckah. He had done nothing wrong when he tried to help Arisa either, even if Arisa was losing the Irishwoman's favor fairly quickly. She was worrying over nothing. Right?<br/><br/>Trying to distract herself from the lack of attention she had received so far, Cassandra pulled out her designated Love Island phone to check on the message she was pretty sure she missed... which was a mistake on her part. Rather than being able to worry less about the situation, the text prompted even more worries as she read that the guys "might meet some friendly faces" on their day trip. If she knew anything about Love Island, she was pretty sure that meant new girls... Great...<br/><br/>Shoving the phone away as quickly as possible, Cassie tried to forget she had ever read that text. She tried to forget that Laura had sent a text warning that their couples were again no longer safe. Instead, she stormed the gap between herself and the liquor cabinet, grabbing a shot glass and whatever was most easily available. If she wasn't in a house where everyone had to share everything, Cassie might have said screw the shot glass. Since that wasn't the case, however, she poured the liquor, nearly overflowing the edges of the glass before taking her first shot...of the evening...<br/><br/>"Dom, you're a life saver!" Cassie exclaimed as Dom offered to make nachos. Until then, Cassie hadn't even considered that the only thing she had consumed since breakfast had been alcoholic. And finally, her stomach seemed to recognize that too as Cassie could feel it respond with a grumble.<br/><br/>When Victor finally showed back up again, Cassie was standing with her back to the villa, looking over at the rest of the bar crew. In one hand. she held a loaded chip, biting off half, while the other had a soft hold on the liquor bottle. She wasn't sure whether to be irritated or excited when she heard his voice. On the one hand, she had been waiting to spend some time with him and actually let him in on her secret. On the other hand, however...<br/><br/>"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to get between a hangry woman and her food?" Cassie teasingly scolded, placing her hand over her mouth before taking another bite of the chip. Now that her mind had been brought to food, she really did not want to leave it behind.<br/><br/>After a third, albeit rushed, bite and a gentle command from Victor to close her eyes, Cassie rolled her eyes playfully before doing as he requested. She loved the way his arm felt wrapped around her waist. She enjoyed how easy it was to feel how much taller than her he was. She knew that even if she started to fall, he would catch her. Still, her eyes peeked open ever so slightly a few times before shutting quickly and tightly like a child trying not to get caught every time he reminded her not to look. Whatever the surprise was, his excitement bled through his words which only increased Cassie's desire to know what his surprise was.<br/><br/>"Victooooor!" Cassie laughed with a slight whine to her voice as she tried not to open her eyes again while he positioned her. He really was excited about whatever it was he wanted to share with her which brightened her mood and made her forget all about the text and his rushing off. They were in this moment together and that was all that mattered. "C'mon, I want to seeeee!"<br/><br/>Just before letting her open her eyes, Cassie got to see yet another side of Victor. On top of being kind and protective and funny, now she got to see that he was a gentleman too. Or at least that he was gentlemanly enough to consider her and do things for her even without being asked. It made her want to know even more. But first... What was this damn surprise he had for her already?<br/><br/>At first, when the redhead opened her eyes, she wasn't sure what she was supposed to be looking at. They were in the yard, by the pool. There was nothing super special about this other than she was here with someone who had made her smile when all she wanted to do was cry. So she snuck a peek over at what Victor was looking at, hoping he wouldn't see the confusion on her face, and followed his gaze up to the skies.<br/><br/>It was beautiful. Cassie wanted to make a joke about gazing up at the stars together like they were the stars of Love Island's very own rom-com but instead, all that came out was a soft wow and a smile. She had heard people tell her a million times to slow down, to stop and smell the flowers but... She had never even considered slowing down and looking towards the heavens. In fact, the last time she could remember just gazing up at the stars was when she was a child.<br/><br/>"It's beautiful, Victor." She said, turning her head towards him. Though, now she had to wonder why he wanted to share this with her. And especially that... Of all the girls in the villa, why was it her he chose to share this with?
