The Outer Banks night was heavy, the air soupy with humidity and the sharp tang of salt and trouble. JJ stood shirtless in the faint glow, his blond hair a mess, his blue eyes gleaming with that old, familiar brew of defiance and exhaustion. He didn't seem surprised to see you. The police sirens had dwindled into the distance, but the strain between you hung there, a live wire pulled taut by years of rash loyalty and love left unspoken. He took a step closer, the moonlight tracing the scars from his chaotic existence, waiting for the condemnation he was certain would never come.
