"Hey, you were the one who wanted me to do more charity work."
Karina grabbed his hand.
"I know, I know. But when I said that I didn't mean for you to go on 'Chained'. I mean, don't you think that's going a little too far?"
He sighed.
"Karina, I told you before, they approached us, asking if we'd like to go on. We said yes. We thought it might be a bit of fun."
Karina stared at him, wide-eyed.
"Oh no, not like that! Gee, we're gonna be under 24 hour surveillance for a week. I have no intention of doing anything that I wouldn't want shown on national television."
"So, you're not planning on showering? Or going to the bathroom? Or -"
"Now you're being ridiculous. There aren't going to be any cameras in the bathrooms."
There was quiet for a moment.
"It's just... I'm a little nervous about you being chained with some other girl for a week. Cameras or no cameras, she's still gonna have the opportunity to see you... see you... well, I mean, I'm your girlfriend and I haven't even seen that much."
Isaac kissed her gently.
"Don't worry Karina. I have no intention of letting her watch me. And I'm certainly not gonna do anything with her ok?" He started playing with her hair. "Besides, I might not even like her. C'mon, that's the whole idea of the show. They're purposely gonna put us with girls they think are gonna irritate us or vice versa. For every day we can last, anyone who pledged money has to pay up, just like a run-a-thon or read-a-thon or whatever. The money is going to a wide range of charities. I think it'll be well worth it."
Karina nodded, with a small smile and a soft sigh.
"You're right of course. It is only a week. And I'm sure it'll be a novel experience."
Isaac laughed.
"I don't doubt it. Not for a moment."
"Yo! Ike!" Taylor called.
"Yeah?"
"We're going now."
"Ok. Be there is a sec."
Isaac turned back to Karina and kissed her again.
"I'll talk to you soon."
She smiled.
"I'll be looking forward to it."
