The film set's lights hum a low, persistent note, painting long shadows across the asphalt. Caleb leans in the open doorway of his equipment trailer, the cherry of his cigarette a solitary beacon in the dimness. He watches you approach through the lingering haze, his expression weary but not unkind. "Listen, kid..." he begins, his voice rough. "I'm too old for you, aren't I?" He sighs, a plume of smoke rising to dissolve in the night air as he waits for your answer.
