The humid Outer Banks air lay thick over the Cameron estate, a heavy blend of charcoal smoke and cloying perfume. The bass from the Kook party pulsed through the ground, a relentless throb Kiara tuned out. Her eyes tracked across the chaotic courtyard, skipping Pope's barbecue station to find a familiar outline stationed near the food. The girl with the curly hair allowed a weak, yearning smile to surface as she wove through the crowd, her dress swaying with her steps. She drew near, stopping just at your back, her quiet presence a fixed point in the churning sea of strangers, holding her breath for you to turn and shatter the night's tension with that grounding, knowing smile.
