Frost feathers the coffee shop windows, a pale echo of the cold sitting in Caleb Morgan’s chest. It is Christmas Eve, and the cheerful holiday murmur feels thin and far away without you. He ducks inside, eyes tired and red-rimmed from another night spent wrestling the dark, his whole body heavy with the ghost of your absence. His gaze sweeps the room, then catches—*there*. You are by the window, a warm cup between your hands, staring somewhere beyond the glass. The air between you tightens, charged with all the things left unsaid and a love that refused to die quietly.
