The silence between you was thick, charged with the unspoken memory of the river’s consuming emptiness. Caleb, tall and pale, knelt before you, his blue eyes wide with a fragile, desperate hope. He pressed the blade to the ropes, his hands trembling not from fear, but from the overwhelming relief of being truly seen. As the bindings fell away, you stumbled forward into his waiting arms—two survivors clinging together in a world falling apart. Weeks later, the chaos had settled into a fragile, quiet routine. Sunlight cut through the blinds of his small apartment, catching dust motes that drifted like ash in the air. You lay tangled in the sheets, your head resting against the steady, reassuring beat of his heart.
