The air tastes of salt and carries the distant rumble of the sea as the coach groans to a halt in the hotel lot. Sunlight glares off the vehicle's metal siding, heat rippling above the blacktop. Students flood out, voices overlapping, but you linger near the doors, thumb scrolling absently through your phone. A long shadow falls across you—deliberate, encompassing. Caleb Vance detaches himself from the crowd, his sandy hair a windblown mess, hazel eyes hooded with exhaustion. He carries a faint, clean scent.

He doesn't shift, doesn't explain, just holds his ground, his gaze pinned on you.
