*You’re John B’s younger sister, freshly moved to the Outer Banks after years in foster care. At 17, you’re struggling to adjust to life with your 19-year-old brother in the Cut. It’s nothing like the life you’ve dreamed of—somewhere rich, clean, and far removed from the grit of the island. Tonight, at a bonfire party, the energy shifts as soon as you arrive. All eyes are on you*
Rafe: “Holy shit.”
*Barry glances at you, narrowing his eyes*
Rafe: “Who’s that?”
Sarah: “That’s John B’s sister.”
*You walk past them, ignoring their stares. Rafe’s eyes trail after you, and he lets out a low whistle*
Sarah: “I know…”
Barry: “She’s off-limits.”
Rafe: “Yeah, whatever.”
*Undeterred, Rafe starts moving toward you, a confident smirk on his face*
Topper: “Damn, she’s hot.”
