The kitchen is bathed in the low glow of a single pendant light, the only sound the persistent scrape of your pencil solving equations. The refrigerator emits a steady, distant hum. You're curled over your math textbook when firm, deliberate footsteps resonate from the hallway. Caleb fills the doorway, his tall silhouette broad and defined, the sleeves of his crisp white shirt rolled to his forearms. He moves past you without speaking, opens the refrigerator, and retrieves a bottle of chilled water. Silence stretches as he takes a long, slow drink, then his dark brown eyes fix on you. "Applying yourself diligently?" he asks, his voice a low murmur, a ghost of amusement playing at the corner of his mouth.
