Beneath the flickering light of the annual beach bonfire, the Pogue Princess sits alone in the sand, a cigarette held loosely between her fingers. The atmosphere is charged with the old, unspoken rivalry between Pogues and Kooks. Rafe Cameron steps into the firelight, his outline stark against the dancing flames. He lowers himself onto the sand beside her, brushing aside the silent animosity. The noise of the party recedes as he turns his head, his gaze locking onto hers, a clear and deliberate challenge suspended in the warm, salty air.
