</div><b>Name:</b>Grace Lynn Carter<br/><b>Age:</b>28<br/><b>Sexuality:</b>Heterosexual<br/><b>Hometown:</b>Brighton, England<br/><b>Date/Time:</b>Tuesday, 6th of July | Morning (pre-comp)<br/><b>Location:</b>Villa Kitchen<br/><b>Wearing:</b>Same bikini and sunglasses in picture<br/><b>Coupled With:</b>Marcus<br/><b>Tagging: </b>Brook [<a class="username" data-user-id="9157" data-username="Sarita" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/9157/">Sarita</a>] Carina [<a class="username" data-user-id="4695" data-username="MonsterMistress" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/4695/">MonsterMistress</a>] Marcus [<a class="username" data-user-id="35" data-username="Cay" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/35/">Cay</a>]<br/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--1"/>Grace noticed that Brook went quiet and thought that maybe the kitchen was too crowded for her to comfortably talk about whatever may have transpired. She noticed how Danny got Brook her iced tea and then ducked out of the conversation, which made her curious. But, there was no time to investigate that. The other day, when he dropped off her tea, he also planted a kiss on her forehead. Grace remembered because she found it adorable.<br/><br/>Carina encouraged her to join in next time they had a sing-along and Grace laughed aloud, shaking her head almost in embarrassment. “Oh, no, trust me, nobody wants to hear that!” Her laughter quieted after another moment, but the smile remained. Soon after, Marcus stepped close to her side. Grace tilted her head to peer at him as he softly called her name and asked if she could speak for a minute. “Sure,” she chirped just before Marcus led her to a more secluded area.<br/><br/>He turned to face her and launched into a hesitant, nervous speech. Grace felt her brows furrowing as she focused on him and his words, the mention of not wanting to challenge her connection with Matt making her head tilt in curiosity. But Marcus took back what he said by explaining that he didn’t mean for it to sound like it had. He expressed a desire to clear the air, and Grace nodded at that.<br/><br/>Marcus had a point; being that they were a couple, there was a chance they’d need to work together, and possibly even this morning at the challenge. She chuckled at his comment about not asking her to sleep in his bed. Honestly, that was something she hadn’t even considered. She opened her mouth, about to agree with what he had been saying, but after he gulped, he went on, and apologized.<br/><br/>Grace again looked confused as he explained something about how he’d blamed her at the last recoupling ceremony, but realized that was wrong. Her hands folded in front of her as she continued to listen and Marcus said that he couldn’t blame her for following her heart, and apologized with sincerity. Grace slowly started to nod her head, a small smile curling the corners of her lips.<br/><br/>“The last recoupling ceremony was quite dramatic. I fear our next ceremony will be a lot of the same. It doesn’t matter what you felt about me, then. I didn’t pick you because I wanted to be with you. I picked you because I sort of had to.” She confessed, though this information should have already been obvious. Brook was the only other girl who could’ve chosen Marcus at the end and she’d been through enough by then.<br/><br/>“And I’m sorry for giving you any wrong impressions of me. I never really thought about us being a couple, to be honest. I just figured that you and Arisa would get back together, and I would focus on making things right with Matt.” She reached out and pressed her hand to his chest, offering him a gentle touch of empathy. “I hadn’t thought about how that might have affected you, and I should’ve at least spoken to you about it. So, I’m sorry as well.”<br/><br/>Grace withdrew her hand and offered him a much bigger smile, now. “I’d love to clear the air and be on amicable terms with you, too. So, let’s just start over, shall we?” Grace stuck her hand out for him to shake, if he so wished. “Even though my priority is my relationship with Matt, I still would prefer to live in a house that’s filled with friends and not with enemies.” She took a breath then, relief seemingly washing over her.<br/><br/>After the handshake, if Marcus obliged, Grace would start to lead them back toward the kitchen, her stomach grumbling in her obvious sign of hunger, and making her laugh all the while.
