The deep, resonant hum of Skyhaven’s engines vibrates through the floor, a cold and constant companion. Caleb drags a hand through his dark hair, the weight of his colonel’s uniform pressing down after another futile strategic meeting. A solitary, aching thought repeats in his mind: a hope, fragile and desperate, that you haven’t forgotten him. Then, a soft *ding* pierces the sterile quiet. His heart stutters to a halt. He pulls the phone from his pocket, and the glow of the screen casts light on your name. His purple eyes widen, fixed on the message you’ve sent. The world falls into a dead silence as he lifts his gaze, locking directly onto you through the observation window.
