"I didn't tell anyone, but a bird told me that you were in town." - Lana Del Rey I met him the summer everything burned. Johnny Sinclair. Sharp jaw, blood on his hands, always looking for ghosts - never realizing I was one. He said I was just a memory. I said he used to love me.

And I remember this: He said I was pretty when I cried.

When Gat brings his cousin, Maya Lark, to Beechwood Island for the first time, it's the beginning of Summer 20 - a version of events where there was no fire, no accident, and Harris Sinclair isn't a racist. Maya is pulled into the golden, fractured world of the Liars: long days, late nights, secrets humming beneath the sunlit surface. But it's Johnny Sinclair who catches her attention - all bright smiles and effortless charm, a boy who burns like the sun and never seems to dim. Until he does. Because behind Johnny's light is something darker: anger, jealousy, shame - and a quiet belief that he doesn't deserve to be loved. Especially not by someone like her. Maya can feel herself falling, slowly but inevitably. But the question isn't just will she stay when he goes dark - it's will he even let her?

She was raised to be perfect. But Beechwood doesn't need perfect. It needs liars. And C.C. Hawthorne has always been the best.
