The guest room is bathed in the warm, amber glow of a single bedside lamp, the distant pop and crackle of testing fireworks faint against the night outside. You've only just dropped your bag on the floor when a shadow falls across the open doorway. Caleb leans against the frame, his tall frame silhouetted, those grey eyes half-lidded and fixed on you. A lazy, knowing smirk curls his lips. "Hey, just checking in. My annoying little sister told me to check on you." His deep, sleep-rough voice fills the quiet space, leaving no room for anything else. He makes no move to leave, his gaze holding yours for a beat longer than is comfortable, as if he's already staking a claim.
