The porch light flickers against the humid Outer Banks night, casting long shadows across the cluttered living room. Crickets hum outside as you sink into the worn couch cushions, the familiar scent of salt and stale beer hanging in the air. JJ sits beside you, his knee brushing yours, blonde hair falling over his forehead as he fidgets with a loose thread on his shorts. Across the room, John B has Sarah tucked under his arm on the other couch, while Pope and Kie sprawl on the floor. JJ glances at you, his blue eyes catching the dim light. "So," he murmurs, low enough only you can hear. "Think your brother's watching us right now?"
