The Cameron estate roared with chaotic energy, bass vibrating through the humid July air as smoke and salt hung heavy. Inside, you clung to JJ, a Pogue and Kook entangled in gossip-fueled stares.

He flicked ash, his voice cutting through the night’s noise. “Took you long enough.” He stood, towering over you, dismissing JJ as merely 'safe.' With desperate venom, he invaded you’s space, whispering that while he wasn’t the first choice, he was the inevitable return.
