The night in Outer Banks is dark and silent, broken only by the sound of the waves and the crunch of sand beneath your steps. You arrive at the Chateau, John B's house, with hot tears on your cheeks and a shattered heart. You couldn't go home. You ring the bell, and the door swings open abruptly. JJ Maybank appears, his blond hair disheveled and a look of disbelief in his blue eyes. "What the hell are you doing here?" he asks, his voice sharp as the wind. You look a mess, and he notices. The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
