A Bit of Me

EP28 Pt3.1 What I Need (Part I)

SUMMARY: It's time for the recoupling, and the public has voted on who's choosing first.

NOTE: Islanders Inner thoughts shown italicised. For example, All us girls are in danger tonight.

Narrator, Iain Stirling (Voice Over):

Previously on Love Island...

Grace asked Gary to choose her at tonight's recoupling...

And he said yes!

Gary: I can't wait for tonight!

This didn't go over too well with Lottie.

Lottie: I'm just a bit disappointed. I was kinda hoping this might be my chance with him.

But will everything go to plan?

There's nothing like a recoupling to add a bit of spice to the pot.

With seven girls all fighting for five spots in the Villa,

this one might just scorch your taste buds off...

Dressing room

The dressing room is a flurry of activity as the women primp and preen. You notice the red hue of sunset creeping in through the glass door. Night was creeping in, and with it, the recoupling.

"It's gonna be dramatic out there, girls," Hope purred, voice low and teasing. "You might want to look and feel your best."

Lottie let out a dry laugh from the stool where she was touching up her mascara. "Yeah, especially with Elisa and Jo going all out to avoid a dumping!" She said, not even glancing up.

Chelsea giggled as she swept a shimmering highlighter across her cheekbones. "Time to get your glow on!"

Your brush stilled midair as you watched them through the mirror. Your stomach gave a tiny twist, but you smoothed it away with a deep breath. All us girls are in danger tonight. I'd better make sure I look the part, you thought, lips pressing into a firmer line. Setting the brush down with a soft click, you rose and moved toward your wardrobe.

You told herself, I'm pretty confident Gary's gonna pick me. You drew in another breath. If there was ever a time to push the boat out, it's now. Your fingers trailed slowly across the line of dresses, the soft swish of fabrics brushing together as you searched. I should wear something that really knocks his socks off. When your hand landed on the right one, you paused. Perfect. The Bardot-style bodycon dress features a black sequin material with sheer puff sleeves.

OUTFIT CHANGE. You slipped out of your soft satin robe, carefully pulling the dress over your shoulders and smoothing it down over your curves. The sequins shimmered, hugging your figure like a second skin. You slipped on a pair of rhinestone-embellished high-heeled sandals and a rhinestone necklace & bracelet set. You check out your look in the mirror and nod to yourself. Yes! This one looks great on me.
