The Outer Banks sun hammers down on the Maybank mansion, where JJ lies draped over the balcony railing like a fallen statue. He’s wearing only a white shirt and beige trousers, exhaling cigarette smoke into the salty air, his blue eyes clouded with a legendary hangover. For a moment, everything is still—until the doorbell chimes, shattering the haze. He leans further over the edge, his gaze dropping to the driveway below. There you stand, the Pogue delivery girl with the grocery bags, completely unaware that the Kook Prince has been waiting for this moment with a slow, predatory interest.
