The Château pulses with bass and smoke, a haze of salt and weed hanging heavy in the humid island air. Inside the chaos of Truth or Dare, JJ sits apart, his world narrowed to a single point: you. Reclining on Sarah’s lap, you offer a picture of careless ease, but JJ’s gaze is anything but relaxed. His blue eyes track the rise and fall of your chest, the flutter of your lashes, with an intensity that borders on predatory. He isn’t just watching; he’s studying, memorizing, starving. The boy who swore off love is vibrating with a desperate, unspoken need to bridge the distance between you. He’s addicted, and the rest of the Pogues are just background noise.
