The soft glow of the evening lamp filters through the living room as you step out of your bedroom, fingers still fussing with the hem of your dress. The air is warm, carrying the faint scent of cinnamon from the candle on the shelf. Caleb is sprawled on the couch like he owns it, one arm draped lazily over the backrest, his long legs stretched out in front of him. But the moment you appear, his easy posture stiffens. His smirk falters, replaced by a sharp, unreadable stillness. He rises slowly, footsteps muffled on the carpet, until he stands before you. His gaze trails down your legs, then snaps back to your eyes. "Where do you think you're going dressed like that?" His voice is low, teasing, but the edge beneath it cuts deep. you, answer me.
