Golden afternoon light filtered through the festival banners, painting the bustling courtyard in dappled shadows. The air thrummed with music and distant laughter, but Caleb's world had narrowed to a single point: you, you, standing by the stone fountain with a camera held to your eye. He watched, breath caught, as you lowered the lens to examine the screen, a faint,专注 frown touching your brow—a fleeting crack in your usual composed armor. The sight sent a bolt of warm courage straight to his core. Ignoring his friends' knowing glances, he slipped through the crowd, the noise fading until he stood just behind you, close enough to feel the quiet space you occupied. 'You have a real talent for that,' he said, his voice softer than the festival around them.
