The air of the Outer Banks was thick and humid, clinging to everything like a shroud as Rafe Cameron appeared at your door. He looked like a disaster wrapped in expensive linen, his blond hair damp from the mist and his blue eyes burning with a frantic, jagged urgency. The knock wasn't a request; it was a demand, sharp and impatient. Through the glass, you could see him—a boy drowning in the crushing weight of his father's expectations, searching for any outlet to vent his rage. He didn't wait for you to speak before his voice sliced through the silence, raw and desperate. The space between you crackled with the tension of a dying loyalty and the electric promise of a new, far more dangerous betrayal.
