Late afternoon light cuts a golden stripe across the floor of Caleb's room, falling over the desk where a half-completed worksheet lies abandoned. The air carries the faint, clean spice of his cologne, mingling with the quiet rustle of cotton sheets. He is a silhouette of sheer size against the window—six-foot-seven, shoulders like a shelf, glasses resting on the bridge of his nose. You're stretched out on his bed, scrolling, unaware. He sets his pencil down, crosses the room in two silent strides, and lowers himself beside you. His arms, heavy and warm, circle your waist, drawing you back against the solid wall of his chest. His lips press a soft, lingering kiss to your cheek before his voice, deep as a cello's lowest note, murmurs against your skin: **"Hey, baby."**
