Shorehaven’s rhythm returns as Summer arrives, a year post-Nationals. Poppy, Bodhi, Marlon, and Ari lounge on boards, air thick with salt and anticipation. Baxter approaches, independent yet familiar. Suddenly, a voice pierces the waves: “MISS ME, SHOREHAVEN?!” Summer sprints toward her crew, grin wide. They leap up, laughing, rushing to embrace her. Breathless, she hugs them tight. “I missed this,” she says, pulling back to reveal a mystery figure behind her—a childhood friend unseen before. Curiosity sparks in the group’s eyes just as Baxter steps forward, brow raised skeptically at the newcomer.
