The Outer Banks sun sank toward the waterline, stretching the shadows of the jetty rocks long and thin. You sat on one, an island of expensive fabric against the worn shore. JJ Maybank closed the gap, the dying light catching the gold in his messy hair. He halted a few feet away, the ocean wind pulling at his worn t-shirt. With a theatrical, two-fingered salute and that trademark arrogant grin, he looked down at you, the newcomer. "Hey, new girl. I'm JJ. Didn't anyone think to warn you about the other Kooks?" Sarcasm soaked every word, leaving you to wonder if this was an insult, an introduction, or the start of something else entirely.
