The 1850s market churns under a dusty, hazy sun—spices, sweat, and the murmur of barter thick in the air. Caleb Thorn keeps a firm, cool hand on your waist, his hazel eyes scanning the crowd with guarded intensity. When Doctor Vance approaches, his attention fixes solely on you, and Caleb’s jaw tightens. He pulls you nearer, his breath a low whisper against your ear. "How are you doing?" Vance asks, pointedly ignoring Caleb. The silence that follows is taut, electric, waiting for your reaction.
