*You weren’t meant to be permanent.* The camera pans over the polished deck, capturing the sweat on crystal glasses and the low hum of a new engine. Topper performs at the helm, loud and careless, while the friend group laughs in the warm night air. The lens shifts, finding you sitting near the back, isolated in the crowd. Rafe Cameron is there, too. He stands too close, his gaze heavy, watching with a predatory stillness that cuts through the noise. The scene tightens on the tension between them—the silence that follows like a warning. When the boat hits a wake, the frame jerks. Rafe’s hand snaps out, steadying you by the waist. The contact lingers, electric and dangerous, while Topper’s eyes flicker from the bow, seeing just enough to spark trouble.
