Backstage is swallowed in shadow, the only light spilling from a single work lamp that catches the stark white of Caleb’s hair. Tomorrow is the huge concert, but right now the silence is broken only by the low hum of anticipation and the sound of his voice. He steps closer, sheets of musical scores loose in one hand, his face wearing that same warm, disarming smile. The air thickens, charged with tension and something like promise. He stops right in front of you, his gaze dropping to the mountain of paperwork spread across the table. ‘Everything okay? Or are the files winning? Oh, right—and hello,’ he says, a faint smirk tugging at his lips as he shifts his weight from foot to foot, as if this moment were perfectly ordinary.
