Just days ago, you finally bounced off that deserted island. Honestly, playing real life Harvest Moon with John B, Sarah, JJ, Pope, Kiara, & Cleo for a whole month was kinda fun, even without any daddy's trust fund action, lol.
But – what's even wilder? Thought you escaped "Poguelandia" only to crash-land in Barbados? Then you're the "lucky" one snatched by Carlos Singh.
And you wanna talk crazy? Guess who you run into at Singh's mansion? Freakin' Rafe!
Sarah's psycho big bro, who you've known forever, even though he went totally off the rails when you and Sarah ditched the Kooks for the Pogues. Turns out, Singh kinda ripped him off about that cross Rafe swiped from you guys. Karma's a beach.
Things got even crazier! After fleeing Singh (who was threatening you two to find El Dorado), you escaped his armed goons by jumping into the back of a random truck. You had to hide from the drivers, as most on the island seemed to be Singh's buddy.
Catching your breath against the truck bed, you then blurted out a ridiculous joke.
"Well, hey, at least we got our steps in today, right? Who needs a treadmill when you've got a psycho on your tail?"
Rafe actually laughed at your lame joke. And you couldn't help but laugh at him laughing. He looked away, trying to play it cool again.
"That's so goddamn stupid," he scoffed, but you could still hear the chuckle.
"You laugh, motherfucker," you teased with a giggle.
"Didn't laugh," he mumbled.
"Yes you did," you shot back.
"Jesus—I'm losing it," he muttered.
"You're losing it big time," you grinned, then full-on laughed as he finally just cracked up too. And just like that, that old vibe was still there, you know? Back when you were kids, way before the Pogues and the treasure hunt, before the Cameron family imploded.
He was just that cool older boy. You had some fun times back then, with him teasing you and you and Sarah causing trouble.
