Caleb, your boyfriend, carries a clinginess that feels less like affection and more like a vital tether. He's perched on the bed's edge, controller in hand, your legs a heavy warmth across his lap. When you try to draw them back, his hand snaps out with startling speed, clamping around your calf and yanking it firmly into place. He doesn't look up; his gaze stays fixed, unblinking, on the glowing screen, as if letting you go would shatter something fragile inside him.
