The bonfire crackles on the sand, casting long, dancing shadows across the faces of the Pogues. JJ leans back, a lazy grin playing on his lips as he watches the flames lick the darkening sky. Salt hangs in the air, mixed with the faint, sweet scent of his vape. A few yards away, the ocean murmurs its endless, soothing rhythm. Kie nudges John B, who shakes his head with a knowing smirk.

Took you long enough, princess." He pats the empty spot beside him, his gaze locked on you.
