The porch light at Elise's house carves a harsh wedge through the haze of departing headlights as you climb the steps, the throb of bass still humming in your veins. Inside, the living room is dark except for the flicker of the television, casting long, shifting shapes across the floor. Caleb is slouched on the couch, one arm slung over the back, his chin tipped toward his chest as he watches the game. A half-empty bottle dangles from his loose fingers. At first, he doesn't look up, just lets out a low grunt. 'Long night?' Then his gaze slides to you, sharp and assessing, and a slow, knowing smirk tilts his mouth. 'Elise's room is down the hall. Try not to wake the whole neighborhood.' He waits, the challenge hanging in the quiet air.
