Desiree had arrived at the house with a cold much stronger than what she had anticipated- obviously, she had prepared outfits for the cold, but, as she is a bit sensitive, she still found herself shivering regardless as she arrived at the house. First, she did not really see much appeal in interacting with the others, instead, she sat by the bay window of the cabin, and pulled the throw blanket over herself, unused to the anchorage weather as a californian.

Before she knew it, however, she was approached. Oh no. She thought, realizing she was now in a position where she was required to socialize, her LEAST favorite thing to do. And this man, he seemed a bit strange, and trying to decipher his actions, she kept her expression neutral. If she was not mistaken, he could be- drawing her?? Oh my, he was, with a pencil and everything. Whoever this contestant was, she hoped he wasn’t a freelance illustrator or anything. Desiree could tolerate anything but a broke man.

However, there was a bit of an allure to him. He had very well groomed hair, with a bit of curtain bangs, and a very toned physique, which was very much her type. As well as this, he looked clean, which was another trait she desired in a partner.

“What happened to- hello. my name is?” Desiree questioned him, a bit confused by the fact that he had not even introduced himself to her by name. Who knew, perhaps he would redeem himself, but to win Desiree’s affections, he, or anyone, would have to work very hard.

@Kristi Chi-Chi

To no surprise, the girl did not actually need his help, however he was a bit entranced by her flirtation, and he smiled, feeling a bit nervous, but trying to appear strong. “Thank you.” And he was about to say more, but decided to let her continue. Honestly, he had expected her to be quite different from the way she was.

From her original appearance, she seemed very typical of his type. Woman of color, sass, style, most likely bisexual, probably capable of telling him what to do. Generally a bit of a steer away from the most traditional idealization of a woman. Yet, she seemed like she fit the blue print to a tee, and then some. Her charm was refreshing, and rare. He thought perhaps she might have a leo rising. Yes, he knew a bit about astrology. NO, he’s not passed around, he’s just always had more female friends.

She even called him Mister, which, although his complexion may make it a bit hard to see, threatened to make him blush. “Alright, Miss confident.” He told her, returning a bit of her upbeat energy with a timid crook of his lips. She walked in the direction of the bar, and he just followed, until they sat at the bar, Avrey smoothly hopping onto the seat, then spinning to face her.

“So, Miss, what’s your name?” He asked, keeping consistent with their theme as the bartender finished fixing his supplies. The bartender then went up to them and Avrey was quick to ask, “I’ll just have a water, please.” As he was not a big drinker, at least not outside of his comfort zone, and then turned to her. “And what would the lady like?” He said, teasing her lightly as her femininity was undeniable, and he had to take note of it.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ With Phoebe ⇢ With Phoebe ˗ˏˋ

The girl that Mari J had the fortune of accidentally bumping into, seemed kind, much to the relief of Mari J. She had owned a plain pink sweater with blue jeans that seemed to go quite well with her light skin tone and blue eyes. If not that this was a reality tv share where men get paired only with women, Mari J would have hoped that her match was Phoebe. She was so understanding, so lovely, that she almost washed all the panick Mj felt away from her, almost.

Phoebe, as she introduced, shake her outstretched hand, giving it to Mari J to shake and Mari J complied, the corners of her lips stretching to a small smile. She did not know what else to say after the handshake, because Mari J had never been the most outspoken person- she was not an introvert, she thinks or at least she would not consider herself that, she was more of just very very awkward towards strangers. It was a surprise that she almost got married three times, yes you read it right, she was 24 and already almost got married three times but that was a story for another time. But in all her failed weddings and relationships, Mari J had definitely not been the one to make the first move. But she felt like currently, in this conversation, being the one who had intruded on Phoebe’s personal space by bumping into her, she had to be the one to say something. So something she had said, she had began to talk about the temperature as if they were not inside.

But a part of her regretted that, because what if Phoebe’s was used to the cold and saw MJ as strange? Talking randomly about the temperature was strange, “You know wha-” but before Mj could get her words out, Phoebe had begun to speak. Telling her, that they could pretend it never happened and for a moment MJ was confused. Aaah, right, right, she had apologized for bumping into her. MJ really had to keep up with herself. But anyways, one thing that Phoebe had said struck MJ,* 'i’m from LA.* “Like LA, Ca?” MJ face palmed, “Please don’t answer that I’m just being funny, I’m from La too,” MJ said, “I use to be in this florida for a while but I was born and raised in California.” She went on, “And I know this sounds stupid but I wasn’t really expecting Alaska to be this cold and I’m not sure I like it too.” MJ said, placing her hands inside her pockets.

“Would you like to get some drinks, my-” MJ stopped herself from seeing ‘my treat’ because technically wasn’t it free? “But erm… do you know where the bar is?” There was a bar here right?

Copy of Silas

~arrival day~

Hello, lovely readers,

How’s everyone doing? Chi-Chi is doing rather well. To recap you guys, She recently struck up a conversation with a charming gentleman , whose dark brown skin caught her eye. Th gentlman seemed a bit shy, leaving Chi-Chi uncertain if he matched her ideal type – not that she could recall exactly what she had specified. All she knew was that she wanted someone enjoyable to be around.

Despite the guy’s initial shyness – well, let’s be honest, he was more than a little flustered – Chi-Chi sensed an intriguing quality about him. She could already picture the fun of teasing and flirting that awaited. Inviting him for drinks, away from prying eyes, he playfully referred to her as ‘Miss confident,’ earning a smile from Chi-Chi. Confidence, especially the bubbly kind, was surely a good thing, right?

Chi-Chi envisioned herself as the down-to-earth and confident “girl next door,” easy to approach but with a distinct spark. As they strolled toward the bar, a delightful flutter of excitement danced within her. Her first conversation of the day, this was bound to be quite delightful.

Upon entering the bar, which was neither empty nor overly crowded – maybe about four other people, creating a cozy atmosphere – Chi-Chi found a secluded corner. A spot where they could enjoy each other’s company without the distractions of others’ conversations. The air carried a warmth that encouraged intimacy, setting the stage for a night of shared secrets and laughter.

“Chinyere Smalls,” She introduced, “But you can call me Chi or Chi-Chi, everyone calls me either.” Chi-chi would have to confess that she had lied, most people in her life, well her family more like either called her by her full name or ‘Nene’ or ‘Yere’, Chi-chi loved her full name but she sure did not like the nicknames of ‘nene’ or ‘yere’ they just did not fit her and to her they were a little, well Chi-Chi does not want to offend anyone whose nicknames are nene or yere but she would have to say she found those nicknames ugly. Well not that ugly, ok, ugly, but really it was more like Chi and Chi-Chi were obviously the better nicknames. “What about you, Mr.Helper, what shall I call you- wait actually let me guess.” Chi-Chi pursued her lips and squinted her eyes as she looked over the guy’s muscular structure and face, wondering what his name could be. There were a lot of possibilities, there was Siah- he looked like a Siah, “Siah? Harris? Hatris? Aiden? You look like an Aiden,” She said, because indeed he looked like his name could start with the letter A. And you’re probably wondering how does a person look like a letter, well Chi-Chi cannot tell you how or try to explain it but it was just … Yeah she can’t explain it. “So was I right? Aiden?”

Chi-Chi leaned back, awaiting confirmation of her guess, but her playful banter was momentarily interrupted by the arrival of the bartender. Aiden, or whoever he may be, opted for water, which she noted with a mental nod. “A strawberry daiquiri, but can you dilute it a bit? If it won’t be too much work,” she requested, flashing the bartender a charming smile before turning back to Aiden, anticipation lingering in the air. She wondered to herself, a little nervously, if she had done a little much and should have just stuck to water like possibly Aiden did. Was it to late to retract her drink order?

Day 0 | Arrival at the House | With Mars

Outfit

Until he was in the car on the way to the house where the show was being filmed, Tobias didn’t believe that he was actually going to appear on a dating show. It had started off as a joke. He was watching this show with his friends and his sister and he had jokingly suggested that he should go on it because he wasn’t having any luck in Nashville. Then of course, his friends, with the help of his sister, filled out an application for him and stood there watching him until he clicked submit. Then he’d forgotten about it until he received confirmation of his acceptance to the season. Knowing that his friends would never let him live it down if he didn’t go, he bought himself a plane ticket to Alaska and began to prepare himself for the show.

Naturally, the first thing he’d noticed when he got off the plane was the cold. It was quite a bit colder in Alaska than it was in his home state. He found the person from the show who was waiting for him and followed them to their car. They took him to a hotel that would serve as an in-between place while he waited for it to be time for him to be transported to the actual filming location. There, they cleaned up his appearance, though he didn’t really find that necessary, and gave him a quick interview before taking him to the house. During the car ride, he marvelled at the snow which was sparkling in the sun.

The house itself was magnificent. It reminded him of the times when his stepfather had taken him to events hosted at his colleagues’ houses. A very cheerful host greeted him as he entered the house and he greeted them back with a smile. He thanked the staff who were bringing his luggage into the cabin and began to wander further into the cabin. He hadn’t made it very far before he was approached by a girl in a dress that seemed very not well-suited for the climate. She had long, dark hair and a lot of visible tattoos. She spoke first, asking him if he had the time.

“Yeah, it’s, uh…” He started, trailing off as he pushed back his sleeve to look at his watch, simultaneously revealing the compass tattoo on the inside of his left wrist. “Just after 4:30 pm. And yeah, I hate that they took our phones. I always have mine on me because I like being able to look things up or write things down so this is basically torture.” He commiserated with her, laughing a little at the end of his sentence. Toby was a naturally curious person, which was great for his profession but not so great in situations like this one.

“I’m Tobias. Tobias Han.” He introduced himself to her, offering her his hand. His stepfather had raised him with the notion that it was always proper to introduce yourself to the person you’re talking to. Especially when that person was a very beautiful woman. “Pardon me if I’m overstepping, but aren’t you cold?” He asked, referencing her outfit. Though, for all he knew, she was from a colder climate and this didn’t bother her at all.

Day 0 | With Amberleigh

Max’s brows furrowed slightly, picking up on the touch of embarrassment in Amberleigh’s demeanor. He recognized her attempt to save face, though her discomfort didn’t go unnoticed by him. A soft chuckle escaped Max’s lips, not one of mockery but rather one of empathy. He appreciated her attempt to cover up her initial misstep, understanding the awkwardness of the situation. “Hey, no worries,” he said, his tone reassuring. “We all have those moments, don’t we?” He offered her a friendly smile, hoping to ease any lingering tension.

As Amberleigh voiced her skepticism about his claim regarding the seating, Max’s grin widened, sensing an opportunity for banter. “Ah, but you haven’t seen the world from this angle,” he teased, his tone light-hearted. “Trust me, it grows on you.” It wasn’t quite the seating itself that Max thought was so special, no, it was the comfiness of it being a window sill, with a stunning view from it. Even if Max had seen the mountains around Anchorage so often, they still were special to him.

Max’s gaze softened with a hint of amusement as he absorbed Amberleigh’s advice, acknowledging her insight. With a lighthearted chuckle, he leaned back slightly, exuding ease and charm. “Well, Amberleigh, why waste my talents on everyone when I could save the finest cocktails just for a lovely lady like yourself?” Max teased, his voice smooth and playful. His remark, even if a touch flirtatious, carried a hint of sincerity, a genuine attempt to lighten the mood and extend a friendly gesture.

As he spoke, Max’s easygoing demeanor invited Amberleigh to relax and enjoy the moment. “Consider it a small gesture to make up for any confusion earlier. And who knows,” he added, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, “perhaps this drink will lead to some unforgettable memories together.” With a gentle smile playing at the corners of his lips, he added a subtle wink, a playful twinkle in his eye hinting at the lightheartedness of his remark.

Max’s movements were deliberate as he pushed himself up from the window sill, his actions betraying a hint of caution that stemmed from his recent injury. With a steady hand planted against the wall for support, he rose to his feet, mindful not to exert too much pressure on his weakened knee.

Max’s grin widened as he spoke, “Well, then, let’s not keep the drinks waiting any longer,” he quipped, his tone light and cheerful. “And you’re absolutely right. I know this place like the back of my hand,” he quipped, his tone laced with humor, “Follow me, and I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed, at least not in the drink department.”

Elijah listened as Ava began to speak, smiling in return as she spoke about it being nice to chat with him thus far, though she then brought up how he hadn’t yet told her his name. “It’s Elijah. It must’ve slipped my mind to say my name.” he said with a slight apologetic look. When she suggested that he was a bit of a chef, he gave a subtle shrug. “A chef, not exactly. I just opened my own bakery, but I’ve spent most of my life helping my grandma cook.” Anytime he was home, he was in that kitchen helping her make dinner, or breakfast, a snack, any meal. Especially when it came to baking. “It is.” he agreed when she said how it was a lot to take in. “Its nothing like being back home.”

Littlefeets · 20 February 2024 21:46

“Maybe after? To ease the wound of losing after I win. Unless you need that liquid courage to have a shot at winning?” she teased when he suggested a drink first. She’d rather not let alcohol cloud her judgement for an air hockey game. “I’m guessing you didn’t grow up in a family of athletes like I did, right?” When the entire family each has a different sport of choice, you find things everyone can do. Like when she was younger and her older brother and sisters would visit and they would go to the arcade. Usually there was some fighting over air hockey because they were on an equal playing field. Competition was practically her middle name, and at least in cases like this it was friendly competition, even if she was still determined to win.

Lainey smiled at Rhett as they both ran on their treadmills. She was sweating some and noticed he was too. “Chicago sounds nice. I would love for you to show me around if I make it there.” She smiled at him. However she knew that the odds of them talking after the show wasn’t highly unless they end up being a match. She knew if he was a match with someone else that more than likely they wouldn’t talk if she made it to Chicago. Usually girls don’t like their guys to have other female friends. So she knew friendships with guys were hard.

She had a few guy friends but everytime they get a girlfriend they distance themselves from her. So she never got her hopes up about guys and her being friends. Even though she gets along with guys better than girls. Every guy in her life though has always left her hanging when they are dating someone. So she never expected anything less. He then talked about his job and asked what she did. “Oh nice. That’s awesome and explains why you’re in such good shape. I’m a singer, songwriter.” She said with a smile. “So I travel when I’m on tour.” She then heard the last thing he said. She had to think about this for a minute. “I’m actually really good at drawing also. That’s something not many people know, and people always seemed shocked by it.” She said as she slowed the treadmill down back to a jog. She didn’t want to sweat too much.

@Kate Rhett

Tate chuckled at her comment. It played in repeat for a minute in his head. "Unless you need that liquid courage to have a shot at winning?” Tate smirked at her. “I don’t need anything for a chance to win. I’m great at air hockey. Let the best person win I guess.” He chuckled. She then asked him a question. “Nah… I didn’t but that doesn’t mean I can’t win pretty.” He said as he stopped leaning on the table and went to one end of the hockey table. “Well lets get this started as we talk and get to know one another. I’ll even let you asked the first question.” He said still smiling.

“What happened to- hello. my name is?”

At her questioning words, Dawson’s attention went from his drawing of the girl to the girl herself. He took one final glance at the sketch in progress. It wasn’t done, certainly not perfect, but he had enough to finish it later, and maybe, just maybe eventually it’d be good enough to actually show her. At the very least it’d be something for him to look at to remember the gorgeous girl later, if it wasn’t ever good enough. His art was the one thing he wasn’t always confident in. It was his biggest passion, but his perfectionist side took charge sometimes, and it was harder to think it was actually good, whether he thought it was perfect or not.

“Sorry, I got carried away. The lighting was just right with the way you were looking out the window. You were too beautiful, I couldn’t stop myself.” he added, with a smile. “I’m Dawson, and you are?”

Littlefeets · 21 February 2024 03:30

“I guess we’ll see about that.” At that point she stepped over to the air hockey table, preparing herself for the first shot as he suggested they get to know each other. “Alright, I’ll start it off easy then. What’s your family like? Siblings, parents, any of that.” While the relationship someone else had with their family wasn’t necessarily something that influenced her, it was important to know about someone. At least to know whether they had their family supporting them, like their own personal cheerleaders. While her family was certainly complicated, she knew she had that with her family. They were always there to cheer at each other’s best, and to pick each other up at their worst.

Tomer couldn’t help but be amused by Kian’s outgoing nature and his seemingly boundless enthusiasm. As Kian spoke, Tomer nodded along, observing Kian’s animated gestures and conversation with a quiet amusement.

“I hear you," Tomer replied with a grin, nodding at Kian’s enthusiasm for the Alaskan landscape. “Definitely a refreshing change from the cityscape back in New York.” he responded, his lips curling just the tiniest bit into a subtle smile. Not that he had any problem with the cityscapes of New York, but after all he wasn’t raised as a big city boy, and a part of him always appreciates these quieter spots with all the nature and view, they calmed him. ”Nah I’m with you on that. Tropicals are nice too, I love the beach, but mountains and forests are another a different level” he agreed

Tom raised his brow at Kian’s question about his reason for being on the show, “Well if it isn’t the view…” Tomer’s expression softened, a hint of nostalgia flickering in his eyes. “Honestly, it’s a bit of a family thing,” he admitted, his voice tinged with warmth "My sister, she’s the one who pushed me to give it a shot. My cousin was on the show in season 8 and ended up finding love. So, here I am, hoping lightning strikes twice” he explained with a good-natured smile and lightly shrugged, his sister’s words in his mind, and a hint of vulnerability in his eyes as he opened up about the personal motivation behind his presence on this… unique dating journey.

“What about you?” He then turned the question back at his potential new friend(:

Day 0 | Just arrived | With Elijah

Ah Elijah mentioned he must have forgotten to mention his name, Ava gave him a slight smile. “Oh, no worries at all, Elijah,” she replied, her voice gentle and reassuring. “It’s completely understandable, especially in new settings like this one.”

She listened attentively as Elijah shared about his experiences about opening up his own bakery, as well as helping his grandmother cook. “That’s truly beautiful,” Ava replied softly, her voice tinged with warmth and understanding. “Opening your own bakery must have been quite the adventure. And the bond you share with your grandmother - it sounds like something truly special.”

As Elijah shared his feelings about home, Ava’s gaze softened with understanding. She hesitated for a moment, her introverted nature guiding her thoughts before she gently probed, “Yeah, home is… it’s something special,” she began, her voice soft with understanding. “I’m curious, if you’re comfortable sharing - where’s home for you? What does it look like?” She then realised she was asking him a lot of questions, while not really sharing anything about herself. So, she reflected on the same question she had asked him. Pausing for a moment, Ava’s gaze softened as memories of her own roots flooded her mind. “For me, home has always been San Francisco.” A slight smile playing at the corners of her lips as she reflected on her hometown. “It’s a vibrant city, full of life and color. Growing up there, I was surrounded by creativity and diversity, which really shaped who I am today.”

@littlefeets

Littlefeets · 21 February 2024 20:04

Elijah gave a slight nod with a smile, appreciating Ava’s understanding. “Thank you. It has been. I’ve wanted to bake for as long as I can remember And yes, I wouldn’t be who I am today without her.” He did have a strong bond with his grandmother. She raised him and his sister, and he couldn’t imagine a life without her influence. Even if to this day she’d still find ways he was doing something wrong in the kitchen.

Elijah listened as Ava told him about what home was like for her, being from San Francisco. It seemed like she really liked being from there. “Home for me is Kansas City, but I’ve always been more in the suburbs than the main part of the city itself. Growing up was always about staying close with family and friends. Even if we didn’t get out much, being home with family was always most important.”

After a few more minutes he got off the treadmill and just stayed standing up as he was listening to Lainey. Ash Lainey said that she would love for him to show her around if she ends up in Chicago he nodded his head as in saying sounds good. She then made a comment on why he was such in good shape which he smiled at. He was very passionate about fire fighting and took pride in making sure he stayed in shape and then Lainey told him what she did for a job which he thought was cool and the fact that they both are following there dreams was amazing.

“Thanks I appreciate the compliment you now I got to stay in shape and it makes me look good.” He then took a sip of his water that he did have and then spoke again to Lainey. “Oh your a singer that is really cool. If you go on tours and stuff you must be a really good singer then. Are you signed to a label?” He wondered if he ever heard of her or not since he listens to everything and sometimes even the radio. “I am not surprised that you can draw. I feel like a lot of creative people can do multiple creative things like singing and photography or drawing. What about you are they supportive?”

Day 0 | Just arrived | With Elijah

“That’s really wonderful. It’s great when one can turn a hobby into a job or into a business,” Ava responded, her voice reflecting her genuine interest. In some sense she could relate to it, she too had turned something she enjoyed into her job, and was self-employed for the most part. She wanted to hear a little bit more about his passion and his bakery, so she asked, “Is there something in particular that you enjoy baking the most? Or maybe a signature dish you want your bakery to be known for?”

“It’s special how certain people can shape our lives so much,” she said in reaction to him saying he wouldn’t be who he is today without his grandmother. “Especially family. Your grandmother sounds like an incredible influence in your life,” she added, offering a nod of appreciation. “It’s clear how much she means to you, and she must be so proud of you for opening that bakery!”

As Elijah reminisced about his upbringing in the suburbs of Kansas City, Ava nodded thoughtfully, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. “I can relate to the importance of family,” she reflected, her voice gentle. “Even in the midst of a bustling city like San Francisco, the heart of home is always with the ones we love.”

Tate smiled as they started to play. He shot it over to her. “Well my mom is. it’s just me and my parents. My dad has never really been there for me. I do have a best friend who like a brother. His name is John. what about you cutie?” He asked as he prepared to receive the puck back. He wasn’t sure what to talk about in the moment. His mind was racing so much.

@Littlefeets Katie

Lainey turned off the treadmill and stepped off. She smirked at Rhett. “Well you’re very welcome. I mean you do a great job looking good.” She walked closer to him as they talked. “Yes I am a singer. I guess I’m pretty good then since I do tours. Yes. I’m signed with a label.” She thought Rhett was very nice looking. Lainey smiled {color=#7e4c99] “i’m good at all those things.” [/color] She giggled

{ arrival day / with Max }

You don’t see the world from this angle. It wouldn’t be nice of her to argue with him about it, after all she’s here to make a good impression and hopefully find someone she could get along with but she knew a thing or two about seeing the world from this angle. If we’re talking about looking at Alaska, that is. But no matter how much time she spent appreciating her hometown when she was a child and now, sometimes nature still takes her breath away. [color=“#f0af93”]“I know, trust me.”[/color] But it wouldn’t be Amberleigh if she didn’t correct him. [color=”#f0af93”]“I never got bored of it,”[/color] she added, leaving the interpretation open-ended. It served as a subtle hint to her local origins, while her unmistakable New York mannerisms still showed.

As the conversation continued and flattering words flowed, Amberleigh maintained a composed demeanor. Her facial expressions revealed nothing, not indicating whether she relished the attention or remained indifferent to his words. [color="#f0af93”]“Don’t get to ahead of yourself, Max,”[/color] while her words might’ve seemed harsh she offered him a weak smile accepting his offer. Making unforgettable memories. It still was the first day and he was the only person she met but who would say no to that.

With her arm she gestured towards where she came from, letting him lead the way from there. [color=“#f0af93”]“Oh, you do know this place very well then? Alright,”[/color] following his steps, she challenged him, her arms crossed over her chest. [color=”#f0af93”]“What else could I find here then? Other than obviously no people and beautiful nature - No, why don’t you actually tell me how I’d be spending my days here?”[/color]

{ arrival day / with Tomer }

[color=“#5a719f”]“New York!?”[/color] Kian almost screamed out, with his hands in his pockets turning to face Tomer with a pleasantly surprised expression. [color=”#5a719f”]“No way, I am from New York too, so I can definitely agree that this is a refreshing change from the cityscape,”[/color] with a shake of his head he almost only proved that he was both shocked and happy that the first person he met did not only seem interesting but was also from his own town. Maybe that’s why Kian thought he would like him, why he thought it would be a good idea to approach the guy. [color="#5a719f”]“Hiking is just on another level… Makes me wonder- hope we’ll get to do something like that here- JUST imagine going on one of those,”[/color] he pointed towards one of the mountains that cleary wasn’t fit for Kian’s imagination. “Full on survival expedition but I guess that’s not what were here for,” he laughed lightly.

As Tomer shared his personal reason for being on the show, Kian’s eyebrows raised in curiosity. The lack of a drink in his hand didn’t deter him from expressing his interest, and he chuckled at the irony of not having something to swirl as Tomer spoke. [color=“#5a719f”]“Family connections and hoping for lightning to strike twice, huh? That’s a brave move,”[/color] Kian commented, nodding approvingly. [color=”#5a719f”]“But you know what they say, fortune favors the bold… Or something along those lines.”[/color] With a sweet smile Kian continued, “As for me, I guess I just… Wanted to shake things up. Break out of the routine, you know? New experiences, new people. Hopefully find something real in the process.” His words were delivered with a casual yet genuine tone, emphasizing the shared desire for adventure and connection.

“Should we go back to the house, see how lucky we might get?” With a playful smile he glanced at Tomer.

Katie nodded slightly as she listened to Tate, though one could argue that she was paying slightly more attention to the air hockey than him. She glanced back at him as he threw the question right back at her, calling her cutie, before looking back at the game. She was trying to stay open minded, but it was looking like this first conversation was a bust. While she liked confidence, there was a line between confident charmer, and frat boy who doesn’t know the difference between picking up a girl that’s already two drinks past tipsy for a hookup, and a genuine connection. From the little she knew so far, it seemed like Tate was more on the side of frat boy. Katie was more interested in someone who was confident and ambitious, but with more of that boy next door energy.

“I have two older sisters, and an older brother. I’m really close with my parents, and my brother, Connor, especially, but I’ve got a good relationship with my sisters too.” She was certainly closest with her brother, though he liked to tease how she was like a mix of Carly and Cora.
