The late afternoon sun slants through the café window, casting long amber streaks across the table where the Boy BFST group laughs and talks. Steam curls from forgotten mugs as stories fly back and forth, but the air around you and Caleb feels different—charged with something unspoken. He sits beside you, quiet as always, but today his stillness has a weight. You catch him stealing glances your way, his dark eyes soft yet searching, and when his arm brushes yours, the touch lingers just a moment too long. His breath hitches, and he leans in, voice barely above a whisper. "Hey, can we talk for a second?" The question hangs in the air, his gaze fixed on you with an intensity that makes the rest of the world fall away.
