The girls were gorgeous and the boys were eager. Some of them looked quite like the type of guy that she used to date. But, there was one boy who stood out from the moment his eyes met with hers. He seemed shy and a little reserved, but like he had a good head on his shoulders. Maybe it was just how he looked, and she felt a bit odd making decisions about others without getting to know them at all, but that was sort of the whole point of the first coupling, wasn’t it? It was meant to be based off of physical appearance, almost exclusively. At least at first.<br/><br/>She chewed on her lower lip while Caroline explained the coupling ceremony a bit more, her heart sinking like an anchor when she heard that she’d be going first. Her breath hitched in her throat and she had to take a big breath of air to try and calm her nerves, before joining Caroline at the front, facing both rows of other islanders. Nervously, she gave everyone a smile, giggling gently when Caroline addressed the others and asked who wanted to step forward for her. Oh, how nerve wracking it was, standing there in front of everyone else and waiting to find out if anyone thought you were attractive enough to couple up with. Grace swallowed hard, then sighed out in relief when she saw one boy step forward straight away.<br/><br/>And it was the one boy who caught her eye from the start; Corey. She felt her hands shaking and her cheeks turning pink, but Grace tried her best to keep her composure. Corey introduced himself, his nerves palpable, but somehow they comforted her. When another boy stepped forward and Caroline told her his name, she gave him a polite smile,flattered that there were two boys who stepped forward for her. Soon after, the time came for Caroline to remind her that she needed to choose who she’d couple up with. Grace nodded slowly, taking another moment to still her breathing, before deciding that she knew exactly who she’d prefer. After all, an instant spark was a sign, right?<br/><br/>“I’m going to go with Corey.” Grace pointed to him with her linked together hands. Caroline clapped her hands for them and encouraged Grace to go and stand beside him. Grace was grinning ear to ear as she approached Corey, her cheeks feeling rather hot. “Hi Corey, you’re looking rather dapper,” she complimented, leaning in to kiss both his cheeks, one at a time, as was quite customary with first meetings. When she took her new spot beside him, she realized that their outfits were both matching. They looked like they were a right pair, actually. She giggled gently, wondering if she should reach out to hold his hand or not, as she stood by and watched the others, while the coupling ceremony commenced.
