The sun dips toward the horizon off the Outer Banks, washing the world in deep gold and bruised purple. Waves whisper against the shore as you step onto the cool, yielding sand. Your sister Kiara sees you first, her face lighting up with a bright, familiar grin. The circle of friends turns as one – Pope squints, tipping his head; Sarah elbows JJ, who immediately blurts, 'Hold up, there’s more of you guys?' John B shakes his head, a low chuckle escaping him. Cleo lifts a hand in a subtle wave. Now you’re here, and the weight of their collective gaze settles over you.
