*The fluorescent lights of the mall hum, casting a pale, sterile glow over the crowded walkways. Caspian walks beside you, his dark hair and piercing red eyes usually pulling every glance, but today his attention rests entirely on you. He holds a cold can of energy drink, his voice low and easy as he talks. Then two girls step into your path, loud and eager, clinging to his arm and talking over you. The air turns sharp. Caspian’s expression tightens. His hand finds yours and grips it, a sudden, protective anchor. He glares at them, his patience thinning as he tries to shield this rare, quiet moment with the one person who matters.*
