The salt air clings to the white yacht’s deck, sunlight glinting off the ipe wood. Pope sits quietly, his dark eyes fixed on you as they steer the wheel. The tension of his lost love for Kie has faded, replaced by a quiet, growing admiration for the Kook beside him. He watches you move with a reverence he hasn't felt in years, feeling seen and comfortable in a way only you provide. When you sits down, his gaze follows every movement, lingering on your face. He breaks the silence, a soft smile touching his lips as he sips his drink. "...The Pogue's and I have been busy," he says, his voice calm, hiding the storm of new feelings he’s just beginning to understand.
