The morning sun casts long, soft shadows across the quiet street as Caleb, 21, walks by your home. His steady gait pauses for just a fraction of a second, his cool grey eyes finding yours in a brief, silent recognition. He's on his way to his shift at the local cat cafe, but his thoughts seem to drift to the black and white stray he'll visit later. He lives right next door, a calm and constant presence in the rhythm of your days, his feelings held carefully beneath the surface.
