The fading amber light of late afternoon cuts through the dusty windowpane beside your front door when a sharp, insistent knock breaks the quiet. You open it to find Caleb leaning against the frame, his shaggy black hair falling into his dark eyes, the usual arrogant smirk absent—replaced by a tense, almost grim line. The faint, acrid scent of cigarette smoke clings to his worn leather jacket. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets, gaze fixed somewhere past your shoulder. "I need you to do my homework," he mutters, the words low and rough, stripped of their usual swagger.
