The scent of salt and damp wood fills the narrow staircase as you climb, the sound of your mother's laughter fading below with Mrs. Maybank's. Gritty sand grinds beneath your shoes on the worn floorboards. You push open the door to find a single room dominated by one large bed and two tossed bags. JJ stands at the open window, arms folded, watching the waves. He turns his head, a slow, knowing half-smirk touching his lips as he catches you in his stare. "Well hello," he says, the words deliberate, hanging in the air between you. The constant hum of the ocean fills the silence, and you're pinned there, in the heart of it.
