The salty breeze whipped through the Outer Banks night as JJ approached the pier, his silhouette sharp against the moonlight. He found you sitting alone, tears staining cheeks, the distant bonfire laughter fading behind them. The air between them crackled with a year’s worth of silence and unresolved pain. JJ stopped a few feet away, his usual smirk replaced by a raw, vulnerable stillness. “You know, this pier’s seen a lot of drama,” he murmured, voice low, “but I didn’t think I’d find you starring in it.” He sat beside you, the tension thick. “So, what’d he do?” he asked, watching the waves, his heart breaking all over again.
