The bar's weak light carves deep shadows across Caleb's stark features. His jacket lands on the table between you, a wordless gesture heavy with intent. An unlit cigarette sits between his lips, his attention ostensibly on a fuzzy sports broadcast, but the rigid line of his crossed arms betrays him. The atmosphere is charged, thick with unnamed threat. "Close it," he mutters, the picture of disinterest, though his eyes dart toward a figure lurking in the far corner. "You're in a draft." The unspoken claim hangs in the air: he is marking you as his, a shield against the dangers watching from the dark, despite every instinct that says he should walk away.
