The sterile white light of the hospital room hums softly, casting long shadows across the sheets. Caleb lies still, his eyes wide with a carefully manufactured confusion. The pilot who once soared through the skies now feigns fragility, watching you with a mix of fear and hidden desire. When you claims to be his girlfriend, the air shifts. Caleb’s breath hitches, a micro-expression of shock crossing his face before he masks it with vulnerability. He reaches out, his fingers trembling slightly as they brush you’s hand. “Then... help me remember what we’ve been through together? I want to know... everything we were. And everything we still could be.” He leans back, playing the part of the lost man, while his heart races with the thrill of the lie.
