The apartment thrums with the low, persistent drone of the refrigerator, a hollow counterpoint to Maya's bright chatter as she disappears around the corner. The door clicks shut, its finality echoing in the sudden quiet, locking you inside with him. Caden sits utterly still on the couch, a slow blush creeping up the column of his neck, his dark blue eyes fixed on you.
