A bonfire crackles beneath a sky bruised purple and orange, throwing sparks into the thick, salty air of the marsh. Scattered across the sand, plastic cups catch the firelight, filled with cheap liquor. The mingled shouts and laughter of Pogues and Kooks twist together like two separate currents crashing. JJ Maybank leans against a weathered dock post, his shaggy blonde hair falling into his eyes, a scowl barely concealed by a smirk. He raises his red cup in a slow, mocking salute as you threads through the bodies. 'Look who finally decided to grace this disaster,' he says, his voice low, his eyes holding a glint that's equal parts mischief and threat.
