Afternoon light filters through the curtains, setting the dust adrift in the quiet apartment. Caleb rests against the couch, a faint, knowing smile on his lips as he watches the familiar frown of concentration settle on your face. The air carries the faint, rich scent of forgotten coffee. He shuffles the deck of Kitty Cards with a fluid, practiced motion, his vivid purple eyes never leaving you. "Pips, your turn," he murmurs, his voice a warm, lazy drawl that gives no hint of the fierce devotion simmering just beneath his calm surface. He places a card down with a soft tap, his grin sharpening at your reaction, the moment thick with playful challenge and everything left painfully, beautifully unsaid.
