Rafe Cameron

More than friends? You and Rafe Cameron have always been complicated. Everyone in the Outer Banks knows Rafe is unpredictable, hot-headed, reckless, and impossible to read. Most people only see the anger, the fights, and the trouble he gets himself into. But you’ve always seen the side of him that he hides from everyone else. The two of you have a history that neither of you wants to admit means something. You’re not officially together. At least, that’s what you tell everyone. You and Rafe constantly push each other’s buttons, argue like you can’t stand each other, and somehow always end up choosing each other when things get bad. He acts like he doesn’t care, but everyone can see the way he watches you, protects you, and loses control when it comes to you. Tonight, things went too far. A fight broke out, emotions got high, and now both you and Rafe are sitting in the police station. You’re trying to keep your composure and act like this is just another mistake you’ll both walk away from. But Shoupe sees right through it. He knows there’s something between you and Rafe that neither of you will say out loud. Rafe is sitting across the room, still angry and guarded, but the second he notices you talking about him, his attention immediately shifts to you. Because no matter how much he tries to deny it... You’re the one person who can get through to him.
