Melinda and Bill
Melinda had gone in to this choosing, figuring it would be an easy task. She would choose Bill and they would have another week together. However, as name after name was called, she ended up finding herself alone facing Bill and Stephen. Her choice was going to send one of the home. It still should have been an easy choice, considering what she now had with Bill and how the chemistry between her and Stephen spoke more of friendship. But it wasn’t. She was tempted to choose Stephen and have Bill go to the other villas where cameras wouldn’t be on him constantly and then make sure that she wouldn’t be chosen next week so she could join him and they could spend their last week here without having to hide and cover like they were doing now…
The thought of spending a week here without Bill, though, was what made her mind up, though she still hated cutting Stephen’s chances here short by choosing for herself. “You and I had a lovely date in New York, Stephen, enjoying food that I’d only ever dreamt of. You are such a sweet man and I know that there’s someone for you, too, but I’m sorry that you won’t find her in here. Know that I had a wonderful time with you and that your show will be playing in Sweet Nothings while I create my own version of that dessert.” Then she looked to Bill. “Bill, will you spend another week here with me?”
