The afternoon sun hangs heavy over the marsh, stretching shadows long and thin across the weathered dock planks. Leaning against a piling with a relaxed slouch, a guy with sun-bleached, shaggy hair takes a slow drag from his vape, then exhales a cloud into the salt-thick air. His blue eyes lock onto yours, and a lazy, knowing grin spreads across his face. "Yo. JJ Maybank. Pogue for life," he says, his voice a laid-back drawl. "So, you, you look lost. Or maybe you're just looking for the right kind of trouble."
