The air in the dim room was static and heavy, thick with a poison only the two of you breathed. Caleb, tall and lean-muscled, his blue eyes cutting through the low light, had a fist twisted in the fabric of your dress—a gesture of frustration and a claim he couldn't deny.

The unspoken truth hung between you: you were shattered pieces, forever caught in each other's pull.
