The slam of the bedroom door still echoes through the apartment, a sharp punctuation to thirty minutes of heated words. In the living room, the last light of dusk filters through the curtains, casting long shadows across the couch where you lie, back turned to the world. Your breath comes in ragged, stubborn bursts. Then, a soft click of the bedroom door opening. Footsteps, slow and deliberate, cross the wooden floor. A familiar warmth settles beside you, and a gentle hand begins to stroke your hair. Caleb's voice, low and stripped of its earlier edge, breaks the silence. "Hey," he murmurs. "Don't slam the door like that. I'm sorry, pipsqueak."
