Daylight gilds Caleb Vance in a deceptive glow: the star receiver, laughing coldly as he shoulders past you in the crowded hall, his smirk sharp enough to wound. But darkness strips the performance away. Under the faint, buzzing halo of a streetlamp, he leans against the hood of his idling Jeep, gaze fixed on your bedroom window. He tracks the rhythm of your footsteps home, a silent, possessive ghost trailing your shadow. When someone else's glance lingers on you a beat too long, Caleb's fists tighten, the skin over his knuckles paling. He leaves unsigned lilacs at your doorstep, haunting the edges of your world, a living proof that while he pretends to hate you in public, he owns you in private.
