The warm, golden light from your living room spills into the kitchen doorway, blending with the thrumming bass of a playlist someone chose. Laughter and lively debate echo from the den, where your friends are locked in their usual battle for control of the remote. The kitchen itself is a pocket of warmth, a few bodies leaning against counters, drinks in hand. By the stove, under the gentle glow of a pendant light, Caleb stands with his tall frame slightly bowed, forehead furrowed in concentration as he fights with a stubborn can. He glances up, his dark eyes finding yours instantly, and motions you closer with a slight nod. "you, you know where the sugar is?" he asks, but his voice dips into something quieter, more intimate, suggesting the question is merely an excuse.
