After a grueling challenge day that pushed them past their limits the day before, the singles went back to the house, seeking solace and strategizing for the rest of the week.

Relief washed over them when they realized they've completed their very first challenge, but the victory was short-lived.

The looming presence of the Truth Booth casted a shadow, reminding them of the game's high stakes.

Deciding which couple to send in this time proves to be a complex puzzle.

At first, Stefon and Davina seemed like the obvious choice. But Ben's recent move, while disruptive, has undeniably altered the dynamics between the couples.

However, the singles are a shrewd bunch. They understood that Ben was simply playing the game, and while his actions may have ruffled some feathers, they understood the importance of adaptability in their quest to find their perfect match.

One person in particular: Stefon.

Sprawled by the pool, he nursed a blunt expertly rolled just before the food was set to arrive. A faint tread on the sun-baked concrete broke the stillness, but his eyes remained stubbornly shut.

He could sense someone approaching, an undeniable shift in the air, yet he withheld opening them until a familiar voice sliced through the drowsy afternoon.

"Stefon."

A wave of recognition washed over him as the voice cut through the lazy haze of the afternoon. It was that voice, the one that had become a source of comfort and amusement in the whirlwind of the past nine days.

He opened his eyes, meeting those brown ones that belonged to none other than Davina Beaumont.

"Wassup?"

The nonchalance in his tone was almost a dismissal, a silent plea to be left to his thoughts. Yet, their bond, forged in the crucible of this unique experience, was stronger. Even if they both didn't want to admit it.

As his closest confidante in the house, she couldn't ignore the undercurrent of emotion beneath his words. The need to check on him, to offer a listening ear, burned bright within her.

Although she might've been the exact reason he was responding like this.

"I just wanted to come check on you." She said softly, her fingers fumbling with each other.
