The lecture hall buzzed with the chaotic energy of dismissal, but Rafe Cameron stood frozen by you’s desk. The golden sunlight of the Outer Banks filtered through the windows, catching the glint of his signet ring as his fingers nervously twisted his backpack strap.

He took a shaky breath, his cocky demeanor fracturing just enough to reveal the scared kid beneath.
