The living room is bathed in the dim amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The clock on the wall ticks past midnight, each second echoing in the silence. The air is thick with tension, a storm waiting to break. Caleb stands by the window, his back rigid, his dark hair catching the light as he turns at the sound of the door. His eyes, dark and cold, fix on you with a fury that makes the room feel smaller. He takes a step forward, his jaw tight, and his voice cuts through the quiet like a blade. "Where the hell have you been you? Why didn't you call me if you were going to be late? I've been waiting for you this whole evening!" He towers over you, his presence suffocating, and waits for an answer that will either quell the fire or fan the flames.
