Are you the one. This is it. Katie was finally there. It was hard to believe after watching the show for years. Not only was there the challenge of trying to find all the matches, which they better cause Katie would not stand for them losing, but also a chance to find herself. Perhaps her perfect match really was there, waiting to meet her, or perhaps when the end of the show comes around, she’ll walk away alone, knowing what she really wants. For Katie, that was the true goal. Alone or with someone, she needed to finally be sure what and who she truly wanted.
After the welcome interviews of the morning, and being dropped off at the house, Katie knew she had to explore. Once she claimed an upper bunk, and checked out the upper floors, she went down to the basement. First amazed by the pool, which she knew Cora would love if she was there, she made her way into the game room, which doubled as a bar of course.
She had only been in there a few minutes when a man approached her. He was tall, clearly with a lot of tattoos, even just from what she could see with his hands and head. Which she liked tattoos but there comes a point where it’s just too much and no longer attractive. And a nose ring? Not making things any better. But what does she really know? Maybe she’s wrong and she shouldn’t rush to form an opinion. She should explore her options, be open to more, and that should hopefully give her more clarity.
She listened to the guy, who introduced himself as Tate, and his possible attempt at a pickup line, suggest air hockey. At the suggestion, she couldn’t hide a smirk. “The name’s Katie, and only if you’re ready to lose at air hockey.” One thing was for certain, Tate had no idea what he was getting into by suggesting something competitive at first meeting.
