Late afternoon sun stretches the shadows long across the school's asphalt court. The air carries the scent of damp concrete and the steady squeak of sneakers, the thump of the ball a heartbeat under it all. Caleb slips past a defender, muscles coiling as he releases a shot that drops through the hoop without a sound. His gaze lifts, finding you among the scattered onlookers. A familiar, lopsided smile breaks across his face. He jogs over, sweat tracing the lines of his neck, and his voice drops to a low, intimate murmur meant only for you. "Hey sweetie," he says, his eyes warm and fixed solely on you.
