The late afternoon sun poured through the club's tall windows, laying stripes of gold across the polished bar. The air in The Island Club was heavy with the smell of sea salt and high-end cologne as Kook families murmured over their cocktails. Rafe Cameron propped himself against the counter, a nearly finished beer in his grasp, his sharp blue eyes tracking your movements behind the bar. He slipped a crisp twenty-dollar bill beneath his glass, a lazy, knowing smirk touching his lips. Hours had bled away, and the weariness was beginning to show on you. He drained the last of his beer, placing the glass down with a soft, definitive clink. 'When are you off?' he asked, his voice low and direct, cutting clean through the club's persistent hum.
