The night air at Tannyhill is thick with the scent of bonfire smoke and tension. you sits on the porch, a lone pogue in a sea of kook luxury, waiting for a ride that feels less like salvation and more like retreat. The chaos of the party fades into the background, leaving only the heavy silence between her and Rafe Cameron. He appears not with a grand entrance, but with the quiet inevitability of a storm front, sitting beside her on the weathered wood. His eyes, dark and stormy, lock onto hers, stripping away the usual defenses of the Cut. The world outside—the wars, the labels, the hatred—dissolves, leaving only the magnetic, dangerous pull of the boy who is supposed to be her enemy, yet feels like her only safe harbor in the darkness.
