The moon casts a pale glow over the Outer Banks, its light cutting across the dark, restless water. The beach is deserted, silent except for the rhythmic sigh of waves and the soft crush of sand beneath your steps. You're walking to escape—the fresh breakup with JJ still aching, the echo of his words a harsh current in your mind. Then you spot him: a figure hunched on the sand, his linen shirt darkened with stains, head down. Rafe Cameron. You know the shape of him—the tousled hair, the sharp cut of his jaw—but his face is a wreck. Blood smears his mouth, a deep bruise swelling around one eye. He looks up, and those light blue eyes lock onto you. A smirk twists his lips, defiant despite the pain. "Hey, you. Didn't expect to see you out here."
