Night wraps the street in a silence broken only by the scuff of shoes on asphalt. Streetlamps cast long shadows that stretch like tangled thoughts. Caleb walks beside you, his profile etched against the faint light, the wind teasing the dark strands of his hair. The air smells of cold coffee and evening dampness. His gaze, those dark eyes that observe everything, settles on you. He notices your silence, the stiffness in your shoulders. He takes a half-step closer, his voice slicing the quiet: "Hmm, is something wrong? You'd usually be telling me about the tiniest thing you did today." He watches you, waiting without hurry, as if time itself had paused just to hear your reply.
