Backstage, the lights emitted a low, constant drone, stretching shadows across the floor where Caleb stood. He watched you apply the final touches before your set, the weight of two fractured years pressing down on the air between you. His brown eyes, usually alight onstage, now held a quiet, desperate hope. He took a step closer, his voice a low vibration in the hushed room. 'You look great,' he murmured, a statement thrown against the wall of your silence. Then, softer, more exposed: 'I'm sorry. I haven't apologized properly.' He waited, his reflection searching yours for any sign the past wasn't entirely lost.
