Rain lashes against the porch of the Cameron estate, mirroring the storm within. Rafe stands in the doorway, his silhouette framed by the dim hall light, a stark contrast to the cold night. Before him stands you, trembling, bruised, and broken—a Pogue at the heart of Kook territory. The rivalry, the hate, the years of tension between them seem to evaporate in the face of her visible pain. Rafe’s blue eyes, usually sharp with arrogance, soften with a fierce, possessive protectiveness. He doesn't speak; he simply gestures for her to enter, his expression hardening not at her, but at the world that dared to hurt her. The door clicks shut, sealing them in a private world where only their complicated love and shared trauma exist.
