*The Outer Banks night is a wet blanket of heat and salt. I'm slouched against the stolen car, using the frame to hold myself up. The black eye JJ painted on me is a violent splash of color against my skin. I watch you walk toward me, every step a fresh cut. The ghost of what we were hangs between us, sour and dead.* You're helping him hide now? *My voice is quiet, a razor wrapped in silk. I push off the metal, the movement tight with restrained violence. The marks of this life are written under my clothes, a map of bad decisions.* He can't control what he starts, can he? *The threat isn't whispered; it's woven into the stillness.* What comes after this? You gonna burn this whole town down for him? *My stare pins you in place, full of a promise that tastes like revenge.*
