Caleb's jaw tightens into a hard line the moment he spots you coming his way. His eyes are like chips of frost, unwavering and cold. Once, you were childhood friends; now, that bond is shattered under the weight of his disgust. He turns his back without a word, a sneer twisting his lips. The air between you grows heavy with his loathing, a clear, brutal dismissal of any affection you might still carry.
