Sarah grabbed two ice-cold bottles of beer from the fridge in their bungalow, handed one to Raffe, and then plopped down on the opposite end of the sofa.

“We made it again,” she said, leaning over to tap her bottle against Raffe’s in celebration. The unexpected kiss at the end, still fresh in her mind, had created a new level of awkwardness, especially now that they were alone in the bungalow.

“Yes, only four more to go. We might actually win this thing,” Raffe said.

Pride bloomed in Sarah’s chest. It turned out they actually were a good team, despite the reservations she’d had when she’d agreed to enter the contest. Now they’d survived the elimination and two challenges. They actually had a real shot at winning.

“We should try to anticipate what the next challenge will be, you know, try to prepare for it.” Sarah was trying to keep her mind on the contest, but her thoughts kept drifting to the kiss. “Your research has really helped us with food pairings, so we should try to leverage that.”

“Thanks. I think the fact that you think quick on your feet helps too. Gets us up and running fast,” Raffe said. “I think as long as we just stay calm and communicate we can win.”

Sarah sipped her beer, looking at Raffe out of the corner of her eye. Should she mention the kiss? She wanted to forget about the darn thing, but all she could do was think about it. Obviously the kiss wasn’t a big deal to Raffe. He acted completely normal. Still, shouldn’t she say something to clear the air?

“I think I’ll take a shower now,” was all that came out of her mouth instead.

Sarah shut the bathroom door and leaned up against it. This was all becoming too stressful. First the show makes them shack up together, and then they make them kiss. What was next?! She called Marly, hoping that she didn’t have an anxiety attack in the process.

“They made us kiss, and I don’t know what to do. This is so awkward.” She blurted as soon as Marly answered.

“Um, what? You kissed? Oh my God! How was it? What was it like? Like a movie kiss or a peck on the cheek? I need the details!” Marly’s voice rose with excitement.

“God no! Not like a movie kiss. But not a peck either. Okay, maybe kind of like a movie kiss, but not a really long one. Well, kind of long, I guess. It was like one that Big and Carrie would have after they hadn’t seen each other in a while when they weren’t hooking up and were in other relationships but then they see each other and want to hook up.” Sarah knew Marly would know exactly what she meant. They had both binge watched the Sex and the City series together.

“Umm, whoa! Okay, well, I guess there isn’t much you can do about it, right? Just go with it. That’s so awkward!” Marly laughed.

“I can’t believe you talked me into this contest.
