"Well, he actually said to me earlier today that he would pick me in a recoupling, but I suppose it would be nice to have seen him actually make the decision," she admitted

"Do ya believe him?" Tom pressed

"Course. Do you not?" She asked Tom skeptically

"Nah, I do. Like, we don't talk much about it with each other but you can tell the lad likes ya," he said looking at Cal and Toby as they got up

"Yeah right. That's nice to hear," she smiled, "So, Kaz?" She turned to ask Casey, changing the subject

"Yeah, we have like mad banter and chemistry. She's wicked." He said smiling

"She is. I think she proper likes you too. She was gushing about how well the pair of ya's get on," Nellie admitted whilst she watched Cal pull Georgia

They spoke more, whilst Nellie watched G and Cal chat, the two eventually sharing a hug before they broke away.

Nellie also saw Arabella storm away from the fire pit, where she had been talking to Toby.

She bid farewell to the two roommates and went to go and find Cal. He was sat on the couches inside all alone, with his eyes closed.

She went and sat next to him, sitting in silence before he spoke,

"You right?"

"Yeah, are you? Was a hectic one," she said turning her head to look at him

"Yeah I'm fine. I just feel terrible for Arabella. Like, she must've been so embarrassed," He said whilst turning his body towards her

"She was. He was just so inconsiderate of her feelings, but she's strong and she'll persevere," she said truthfully whilst leaning into the boy

A moment of comfortable silence waved over the pair as they spent a minute soaking up each other's presence

"I thought your speech was sweet," she smiled up at him

"You reckon? I was nervous," he admitted with a grin

"Bless! It was cute,"

"Now we get to have a cheeky cuddle at night," he laughed, as Nellie shook her head at him whilst also laughing

"How are you feeling with G? I saw you having a chat," she asked

"Yeah, uh, I'm not really sure. Like she didn't really know that Toby was gonna pick her or anything, so I think she's still keen on getting to know us, but like, I am really happy to be sharing a bed with you," he said looking into her eyes

"Yeah, and that's fine. Bless her," Nellie said understandingly, "Do you reckon she'll like actually crack on with Toby?"

"Yeah, I think she will. Like, I said to her that she would be silly not to and that, especially because of how close we are, but I don't know if I'll wait around for her,"

"Yeah, I could see her head turning. You know what she's like with her history and that," she joked

"I do feel there's something she's not telling me, but it's fine. Anyways, we on for a cuddle tonight?" He asked cheekily

"Perhaps," she laughed back

They sat on the couch cuddling for the rest of the evening, until it was time for the islanders to get ready for bed

Nellie got ready quickly, sitting in Arabella and Jack's bed with the girl until Cal had walked into the room

She gave the girl one final hug, before jumping over to her and Cal's shared bed and slipping in on the right-hand side of the bed
