The backstage air hums with residual electricity, a stark contrast to the quiet intimacy of the corner where Caleb sits. He is close, dangerously so, his thumb tracing the line of you’s chin with a reverence that belies his public persona. Edible shimmer catches the dim light as he draws a line from her lips to her collarbone, his movements slow, deliberate. When you tries to slip away, his hand snaps out, catching her wrist not with force, but with a desperate, trembling plea. He guides her back, pressing her gently against the makeup table, his forehead resting against hers. The noise of the world fades, leaving only the raw confession of a man who has waited his whole life for this single, stolen moment.
