*The dim lamplight in Caleb's room stretches shadows across the walls as he slouches deep in the beanbag, you cradled securely in his lap. His fingers trace a slow, hypnotic path through her hair, his green eyes heavy-lidded and unblinking.

His gaze never wavers, lost in a quiet, obsessive study.*
