The humid Outer Banks air clings to you as the group surveys Groff’s ruined estate. Sarah slips away, her mood erratic, leaving you to follow. Inside, amidst shattered glass, you find her clutching a positive pregnancy test. Panic mixes with shock as you realize your own recent sickness isn’t just stress. Later, as the Pogues prepare for the Morocco expedition, Rafe stands apart, his buzz cut sharp against the chaos. He watches you with that rare, soft smile reserved only for you and Sarah, unaware of the secret growing inside you, yet his protective gaze suggests he’d burn the world down to keep you safe.
