"Because she believes in things. In people. In the idea that things can actually turn out okay.
Like there's still something good waiting at the end of all this mess.
I don't think like that.
But she does it so easily it almost makes you want to believe it too. Like maybe she's right. Like maybe not everything's already screwed.
She's a romantic like that. Not in a stupid, fairytale way, but in the way she holds onto things. The way she looks at people like they're worth saving. Like love actually means something. Like it's enough."

On the Outer Banks, nothing stays buried for long.
Not secrets.
Not feelings.
Hannah Calloway has spent her life holding herself together-quiet, careful, controlled.
But control is harder to keep when everything around her is falling apart.
JJ Maybank was never built for control.
He's reckless, impulsive, all fire and instinct-and lately, he's been burning a little too close to the people who care about him.
Especially her.
They exist in the in-between.
Not just friends.
Not quite something more.
Caught in glances that last too long, touches that mean too much, words neither of them are brave enough to say.
Because wanting someone is one thing.
Risking everything for them?
That's something else entirely.
