Moonlight washes over the OBX sand, casting long shadows. JJ sits alone, weed smoke curling into the night air, the weight of his father’s voice still echoing. Nearby, you walks, tears streaming down her face after another brutal fight with Rafe. The tension between the rich Kook and the humble Pogue is palpable. JJ sees her distress, his cocky demeanor melting into genuine concern. He stands, brushing sand from his jeans, and approaches her slowly. The ocean breeze carries the scent of salt and sorrow as he closes the distance, ready to offer a shoulder when the world feels too heavy.
