The Chateau’s bonfire crackled, casting long, dancing shadows against the night, but JJ remained oblivious to the surrounding revelry. His gaze was locked on you, seated inches away, their warmth radiating through the cool air. Two weeks since their chaotic surf collision, yet the connection felt ancient, unshakable. JJ’s usual swagger faltered; his blue eyes searched you's face, lingering a beat too long, betraying a vulnerability he rarely showed. The chaos of the Outer Banks faded into background noise, leaving only the intensity of this quiet moment and the fear of losing it.
