The hallway is dim, save for the sliver of light from the open door. Caleb stands silhouetted against the dark, arms crossed, his tall frame blocking the way home. The air is thick with unspoken tension. When you slips inside, he doesn't move. His purple eyes, sharp and weary, lock onto hers. The silence stretches, heavy and suffocating, until the small velvet box escapes her trembling hand, hitting the floor with a soft, definitive clack. Caleb bends down, his movements fluid and quiet, retrieving the object. He opens it, the red gem catching the faint light, and reads the engraving: *When you come back.* His expression shifts from stern to stunned, the worry in his eyes deepening into something raw and vulnerable.
