EVIE DIAZ.
The sun had barely climbed over the water, but the air already hummed with heat and salt. Summer on the Cut never waited for anyone.
I was halfway down the dock when I spotted them. John B balancing on the boat's edge, Pope arguing about gas money, JJ flashing that reckless grin. Same chaos, different summer.
And me? I told myself this year would be different. No trouble. No heartbreak.
Then JJ looked up, grinning like he knew I was lying.
If I'd known that summer would change everything, I would've said something sooner.
Something about how his laugh always made my chest ache, or how I pretended not to notice when his hand brushed mine.
But we were just friends. That was the rule.
At least, until the Outer Banks stopped playing by any.
