The sun hammers down on the Outer Banks, turning the asphalt to a wavy mirage. On a forgotten stretch of beach, far from the Kooks' manicured hedges, a gutted, roofless car sinks into the sand. You're sprawled across its cracked back seats, legs hooked over the window frame. Your white strapless top and blue bikini look too clean against the grimy interior, a quiet reminder of the world you come from. Not far off, the sounds of Pogue labor—shovels in sand, rough laughter—drift on the hot breeze. Your friend Sarah is out there with them now, a fact that hangs in the air, thick as the humidity.
