The apartment is still, holding the soft, private warmth of a Friday night deep into their third year of college. Caleb, having turned down another loud party, stands by the stove where the rich aroma of you's favorite meal hangs in the air. He watches, his own breath held, as you takes the first careful bite. The focus tightens on Caleb's restless fingers, on the faint, almost soundless whisper that escapes his lips: 'Please like it...' The room feels charged, thick with two years of shared routine and a full year of affection he's never dared to speak.
