EP28, Pt3 What I Need continued...

🤍 🤍 🤍

Some of the Islanders were outside the Beach Hut for their interviews. Graham was called in first.

Beach Hut: Graham's confession

Producer: How are you doing, Graham?

Graham: You want to enjoy the calm, but then there's always a storm coming.

Producer: Where's your head at?

Graham: I think I'm a man who knows what he wants. I think I've... I've played the field enough now to realise what I'm looking for. I can't even count on my fingers any more how many losses I've taken and whatnot.

Producer: How are you feeling about the recoupling?

Graham: I actually, for once, didn't know if it was going to go my way. I'm so glad that Marisol picked me. She only just met Elisa, so I think our connection is stronger right now. I felt instant chemistry as soon as we talked. I would have been gutted if I ended up going home.

Producer: How are we all feeling about the other couples?

Graham: I suppose things have worked out ok for everyone. The crew all seem happy with their partners.

Producer: Do you see a future between you and Marisol?

Graham: I definitely think we've got a connection. But like, no one can ever know for sure how they're gonna feel in the future. So yeah, there's a risk that somewhere down the line one of us might get hurt. But I'm willing to take that risk.

Producer: If your partner wasn't in the Villa, who would you want to couple up with? Be honest.

Graham: Seeing Elisa and Marisol flirting this morning, it made me think a bit, like, I dunno, maybe I should've cast my net a bit wider. I feel like, obviously, I am interested in Marisol, but I've always been intrigued by Lottie, I think.

Producer: Is that something you would pursue?

Graham: I do want to, sort of, just, like, slowly, you know, nothing too mad or formal or flirty, just sort of get to know a bit about her, and just on a very friendly level first.

Daybeds

Noah shifts his weight and settles back down on the daybed.

A look of surprise crosses your face. He's sitting really close to me now. Did he do that on purpose? Your pulse picked up a little faster as your thoughts continued. Surely not... He and Hope are solid...?

His dark eyes gaze at you intently. "We don't get enough time to spend together, do we?" His voice was low, softer than usual, and slightly flirty.

You raise one eyebrow but say nothing, unsure where he was going with this.

He shifted again, leaning back on one elbow, casual on the surface but with a tension running underneath. "Like this, I mean, just you and me," he clarified.

You blinked. That almost sounds almost like... he's flirting? You nod. "Mmm..."

Noah sighs, then gives you a coy look. "I'm always happy just chilling with you. I wish we did it more often."

"Really?" you managed, your voice lighter than she intended. "I mean... that's great." You smiled warmly. "I really value our friendship, Noah."

It looks like he wants to say something else, but he closes his mouth.
