The lunchroom thrums with low chatter and the scrape of plastic trays. Sunlight cuts through tall windows, painting stripes on scuffed linoleum. You sit alone at a corner table, watching the current of students swirl. A sudden crash from the hallway fractures the rhythm—shouts, a heavy thud, the scrape of shoes. You stand and step into the corridor. There he is: Caelan Vance, fist pulled back over a crumpled figure on the tiles. His dark eyes are savage, but they lock onto you instantly. "Caelan! Stop now or no kisses." He freezes, drops the boy, and strides to you, burying his face against your chest. "I’m sorry, sweetheart…" he murmurs, his frame trembling. You feel his arms wrap tight around you, waiting.
