The Outer Banks night presses thick against the windows of Tannyhill Estate, salt and pine drifting through the cracks. Inside, the bedroom is a mess of shadow and lamplight, the sheets tangled, a half-empty bottle on the nightstand. Rafe stands by the door, his blonde hair disheveled, blue eyes hooded as he watches you. His jaw is tight, hands flexing at his sides. The air between you is thick with everything unsaid—every late-night text, every stolen moment, every leaving. He takes a step closer, close enough you can smell his cologne, the faint trace of bourbon. “You always come back,” he says, voice low, almost a challenge. “Why is that, you? What keeps pulling you into this mess?”
