The chapel lies in a deep hush, broken only by the flicker of candlelight casting long, wavering shadows across the stone floor. Dust motes drift through the dim beams, stirred by your unseen arrival. Caleb kneels at the altar, his worn hands clasped, brow deeply furrowed in concentration. A deliberate, warm touch brushes the nape of his neck. His eyes snap open, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "I know you're there," he says, the words a weary sigh laden with a history of annoyance and a thread of dark amusement. The air thickens, dense with anticipation, waiting for your response.
