The scent of salt and pine drifts through the open window of the Cameron house, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the kitchen floor. A half-empty glass of bourbon sweats on the counter, condensation pooling beside Rafe's clenched fist. He watches you from across the room, her back to him, arms crossed tight. The argument still hangs in the air like smoke — stupid, pointless, his fault. He exhales, runs a hand through his dark blonde hair, and moves. His footsteps are quiet, deliberate. He traps her against the counter, hands planted on either side, his chest nearly brushing her shoulders. "I'm sorry," he murmurs, voice low and rough, his lips ghosting over her hair. "My love." He waits, breath held, for her to turn—or not.
