/smiles as she watches the footage, hand covering her face as her skin turns a light hue of pink, blushing from the morning after footage
/slowly looks over at Jey, that smile widening, her hand sliding into his, fingers squeezing tight, head then dropping against his shoulder because hello warm and fuzzies
/lets her head rest for a second, slowly bringing it up, leaning deeper into Jey if possible
"It's hard to believe that was months ago. Wow."
/her face says it all though, smile wide as it can go, eyes with that 'he's my man' look in them, fingers woven in-between his proudly
"Things are really, really good. Really good. This guy makes it really easy to be happy."
/looks at this man like he holds the keys to her world, Usher might as well play 'YOU GOT IT BAD' cause she does
/draws her eyes back to AJ and Bryan, voice a little softer now
"In light of being really honest, I wasn't expecting Jey on decision day. I went into it knowing where my heart was, but also knowing what he had been through. If he didn't show that day, I wasn't going to hold it against him."
/doesn't take her eyes off them, just squeezes his hand
"Everyone saw my real time reaction when he showed up. For a few days after decision day I still couldn't believe it, but...there's not a day that has gone by that I'm not grateful that he did show up. He's shown up in every way ever since."
/looks back to him, lifting their hands to kiss him, purposefully leaving her gloss on his hand
"I didn't expect this. Honestly, I didn't know what I was really expecting coming out of the experiment. I just knew I was in a relationship that deserved answers on whether or not it was time to move on or try harder. Then, I was paired with Jey. I started feeling things I had never felt before. Things that I had forgotten how to feel because I stopped feeling them a long time ago. Seen. Heard. Understood. Safe when he was there, and even when he wasn't."
/pauses, laying their hands in her lap, playing with the watch on his wrist
"I've never had this - what we have, and I will spend every single day that he gives me reminding him that I choose him, that I'll always choose him because he is the choice that will always matter the most."
