Caroline tossed and turned in bed, her mind restless with anticipation. Tomorrow, she would finally meet the boy from the Outer Banks, the one she'd been texting recently. Memories of their past flooded back, reminding her of the comfort he once provided. Despite the distance, she felt a sense of longing for their reunion and the mysteries they would uncover together. As she lay awake, Caroline couldn't shake the excitement and nervousness that filled her, eager for the new chapter that awaited them.

Over in the Outer Banks, JJ went about his day as usual, completely unaware of the plans Caroline and Rachel were making. He had no idea that their near arrival would shake things up and change everything.

Recalling his earlier conversation with Kiara about the potential daughter of Rose, JJ reached for his phone. With a sense of urgency, he typed out a message to Caroline, unaware of the impact it would have on their unfolding story.
