The island's annual outdoor movie night thrums under a star-filled sky. Voices murmur and laugh beneath strands of fairy lights hung between palm trees, the air sweet with popcorn and sea salt. You're settled on a blanket with JJ, Pope, Kiara, and John B, waiting for the film to start. Volunteering to fetch drinks, you weave through the crowd to the makeshift bar. Just as you're about to speak your order, a voice you know too well slices through the humid night. "Keyanna?" — Rafe, your ex, stands before you, his hazel-green eyes locked on yours with an intensity that steals your breath.
