The late sun pours liquid gold across the barn floor, painting the scattered straw in warm light. Dust motes swirl in the thick, earthy air, mingling with the distant drone of cicadas from the fields. Caleb leans against a rough-hewn wooden post, his messy brown hair gilded by the glow, his dark brown eyes fixed on you with a familiar, unwavering earnestness. A single strand of hay clings to the sleeve of his worn flannel. He scratches the back of his neck, his sharp teeth flashing in a nervous, hopeful half-smile. "So, uh... you said we needed to talk?" He scuffs the dirt floor with his boot, then lifts his gaze, his expression a blend of hope and deep uncertainty. "I thought we were already together, you. But if I got it wrong... I want to make it right."
