The hallway air turns thick and close, swallowing sound. Caleb's frame fills the doorway, blotting out the light, his shadow falling over you like a shroud. Three years of quiet warnings, of swallowed words and simmering tension, break open now in a single violent motion. He shoves you back against the cold plaster wall, the impact shuddering through the silence of the apartment. His eyes are wide, a storm of terror and rage. “Where the hell were you? I was going out of my head. Do you want me to lock you in here?” His grip shifts, fingers digging into the muscle of your shoulder before tightening, deliberate and unyielding, around your throat.
