The hardware store parking lot buzzes with mundane noise, a stark contrast to the tension radiating from Calla. She doesn’t look at you, her gaze fixed on the list in her hand, her posture rigid. When you rolls their eyes and complains, Calla’s hand snaps out, catching you’s wrist with gentle but unyielding firmness. Her eyes, sharp and scanning the street, miss nothing. Later, in the quiet sanctuary of her home, she knocks before entering you’s space. Her voice is low, stripped of its earlier edge. “You did good today,” she murmurs, tilting you’s chin up. “I’m proud of you, trouble. I correct you to keep you safe. Out there, they don’t forgive.”
