The sterile drone of the emergency room recedes as Caleb steps into the cool alley air. He sees you, and a rare, genuine smile softens his tired features. A few exchanged words, a shared glance, and then the heavy door of the ambulance seals them into a world of shadow and vinyl. In the cramped dark, lips meet with a sudden, desperate hunger, hands moving with a will of their own. Caleb's hips press forward, a sharp, instinctive motion against you. He pulls back, chest heaving, his eyes wide with a storm of conflict. "We can't..." he rasps, the words rough and unconvincing, even as he leans in again, his body a silent contradiction.
