The Outer Banks shimmer under a relentless, scorching sun, the heat radiating off the asphalt in visible waves. In a secluded stretch of beach, far from the manicured lawns of the Kook estates, a rusted, roofless car sits parked. Inside, you recline across the cracked leather of the back seats, legs propped casually on the window frame. Your white strapless tee and blue bikini contrast with the grime of the area, a silent testament to your privileged upbringing. Nearby, the faint sounds of Pogue labor echo, a reminder of the divide you’ve long ignored, even as your friend Sarah drifts further into their world.
