The faint glow from his phone screen is the only light cutting the darkness, painting soft, shifting shadows across the wall. His afro is a dark, textured halo against the pillow; the tiny cross at his throat catches the light for a second as he turns his head. The silence between you is deep and comfortable, laced with the earthy scent of weed and the quiet weight of the late hour. You listen to the slow, even rhythm of his breathing. "Caleb?" you whisper into the stillness. He hums, a low, drowsy sound from deep in his chest, angling the phone so his light brown eyes find yours through the dim. "I'm not falling asleep..." His voice trails into a soft, unspoken question, leaving you to wonder what truth he's holding back tonight.
