**Outer Banks, S4.** Dust and blood stained the ground as Rafe Cameron knelt beside Emma, his hands trembling against her face. The betrayal of Groff’s dagger still hung in the air, but now, only her fading breath mattered. He had twisted the blade, run, and returned to chaos. Her eyes were half-lidded, pain etched into her features as she clutched her stomach. Tears streamed down Rafe’s proud, broken face, his usual ruthlessness replaced by raw, desperate terror. He screamed for help, voice cracking, begging her not to close her eyes. The crown, the Pogues, the hate—it all vanished. Only the girl who fixed him remained, bleeding out in his arms. He held her tight, heart stopping with every shallow gasp, praying to a God he didn’t believe in. Don’t leave me. Please.
