The salty breeze of Outer Banks couldn’t hide the chaos that was Rafe. Everyone knew his demons—drugs, fights, that mask of indifference he forged himself. But you always saw through it; she was the perfect Kook, sweet and seemingly flawless. They’d been inseparable until they were eight years old, when his aggression and Ward’s overprotection tore them apart. Rafe felt abandoned by his only safe harbor, while you carried the guilt, trying in vain to reach out to a boy who now only responded with shouts and contempt, always retreating into the darkness of his own problems.
