RP: Choosing Ceremony
Characters: Everybody
Date: 13. February, 2006
Setting: The pavilion at Villa Lotus
Summary: The Final Ceremony
Warnings: TBD

Lee stepped forward, his smile properly secretive and his gaze just hazy enough for the cameras to pick. “It’s been six weeks,” he started, then let the façade drop, as per the manuscript, as he addressed the contestants. “Six weeks! Can you believe it?” Before he fell back into the role of the host. “It’s been six weeks since we opened the villas to you, and in those six weeks, we have watched all sorts of different relationships blossom, from the simplest of friendships to… dare I say it? True love. For this very reason, tonight’s choosing ceremony will be slightly different. Witches, if you’d please?”

He gestured for them to move up to where they had been during the previous choosing ceremonies.

After a beat, Lee continued, "Ladies, tonight you need not give a rose unless you give your heart with it. If you'd like to walk into the sunset - so to speak - with a wizard of your choosing, ask him to accept your rose. If you feel you haven't made that perfect love connection here in paradise, feel free to say so. And of course, if you'd like, you're always welcome to come back next time."

He took a breath and called Romilda foward, handing her a rose, and said, "Remember, the choice is entirely yours."

Bill had wanted to talk to Melinda more in private about the future -- but time had gotten away from him, and privacy was hard to come by here except in bed. But he would definitely be having the talk with her, because he did want a future with her.

He longed to step forward and reassure her as her voice shook. She looked so pretty there, in that dress that matched her hair. He followed the impulse as she finished speaking, moving forward to cup her cheek gently. "I won't lie and say it will be easy, my darling, but I truly want to see if we can't find a way for us, no matter how unusual a start. I've fallen for you, hard, and I don't want to let you go. So yes, I will try it with you."

Melinda leaned into Bill’s touch and then gave him the rose before she let herself disappear in his embrace. They still needed to talk, a lot, and plan and talk to their families, but at least here, in front of the cameras, he was willing to give it a try with her. And Melinda was relieved. So incredibly relieved that before she knew it, the tears were rolling, soaking into his light shirt.

She wasn’t sad, quite the contrary, but she had been so wound up and nervous all day, that to hear Bill say those words that she had so hoped for was more than she could cope with right now, at least if she was to keep from crying.

	Despite the fact that he was rather surrounded by women, or at least girls, in his regular life, tears still had a tendency to disconcert him. It also made him protective, and his arms wrapped around her in that manner, keeping her safe from view as he could. He ran a hand gently over her hair. "Oh darling," he murmured, a bit at a loss.

“Oh,” Melinda groaned, annoyed with her tears and soothed by Bill’s arms. “I’m okay,” she assured him in a murmur. “I’m alright.” Swallowing down, she snuck a hand up to wipe her cheeks without smearing her makeup too badly, before she looked up at Bill again. Her smile was genuine, even if her eyes were still wet. She wasn’t crying, not really, it was just a… well, safety valve, and fortunately one that she rarely needed.

“We can make it work,” she smiled up at him.

Bill reached up and stroked her face, wiping away the rest of the tears, flustered a little though it was mostly evident in the faint flush to his cheeks. He hugged her to him firmly, happier than he could say that she also wanted to try. They'd make time soon to talk and figure things out, see how they might be able to meld their lives together. He believed it was possible.
