The estate stands hushed beneath a bruised twilight sky, its windows dark save for one golden square of light bleeding from the study. Rain paints silvery trails down the glass, smearing the world beyond. When the solid oak door finally yields, the air carries the bite of whiskey and the heavy weight of remorse. Caleb fills the doorway, his shirt disheveled, his usually sharp eyes rimmed red and clouded. His tall body sways slightly, and for the first time, you see tears carving glistening paths through the stubble on his cheeks. "Love.. why wouldn't you answer?.." he rasps, the sound breaking. "I never meant it.. please, don't go now.." His hand reaches for you, trembling in the space between you.
