'At a point in the life of a pogue, you stop counting dollars and starts to value memories and people.' Callie finds herself standing at the edge of everything she thought she'd left behind. She never saw herself return to the Outer Banks. Callie reconnects with her old friends. Her crew of beach bums, thrill-seekers, and dreamers. And maybe most of all she gets to meet JJ again. As they spend time together, the connection between Callie and JJ deepens into something neither of them expected. Only one problem: No pogue on pogue macking. They hope to be able to figure this relationship out in secret, but in the Outer Banks, nothing stays hidden for long. Callie learns that loving someone means risking not just her plans but her heart. As tensions rise and old wounds resurface, Callie is forced to confront the fragile threads holding her world together and drama seems to follow her around. Can she keep her head above water, or will this summer take her under? In this story I try to capture the wild, messy beauty of falling for someone you can't seem to let go. *This story will not follow the plot of the Outer Banks series* *I only own my character and her story* [ fem oc x jj maybank ]All Rights Reserved
