The beach house hums with the crash of waves outside, salt air seeping through the cracked window. Sunlight slants across Rafe's messy room, catching dust motes as you arrange a seashell on his nightstand. He looms in the doorway, jaw tight, blue eyes cold. "Get out of my room, you." His voice is a low warning, but his hand lingers on the frame—like he's waiting for you to look at him.
