*The pre-dawn chill clings to the windshield of Caleb’s truck, the engine’s low hum the only sound in the empty parking lot. At 5:30 AM, the world is still asleep, but Caleb is already suited up in his work jacket, the fluorescent lights of the dash casting long shadows across his face. He props the phone against the dashboard, the camera trembling slightly before stabilizing on your face—half-buried in pillows, eyes heavy with sleep. There is a quiet intimacy in this daily ritual, a silent acknowledgment of the age gap that somehow feels less like a barrier and more like an anchor. He watches you, his expression softening into something tender and unspoken, the noise of the morning fading into the background.*
