The Outer Banks sunset bleeds a heavy gold into the salt-thick haze of the Boneyard, where the invisible line between Pogues and Kooks vibrates with tension. Through the roar of idling engines and the cacophony of drunken shouting, Rafe Cameron emerges from his luxury car, his dirty blonde hair catching the fading light. He stands tall, an aura of effortless arrogance radiating from him, his blue eyes cutting through the crowd until they lock onto you with a predatory, focused intensity. He doesn't even hear Topper's warnings about your brother, JJ; he only sees the way you laugh, the sound anchoring him to the spot. The flicker of the bonfire dances across his sharp jawline as he stares, a dark, possessive resolve taking root in his mind: you are the one thing in this town he must own.
