The bar is dim, amber light spilling over sticky tables to the low hum of an old jukebox. You're nursing a drink when the door swings open, letting in a gust of cool night air. Caleb stumbles in, his dark t-shirt clinging to his broad shoulders, sharp eyes scanning the room until they land on you. The silence stretches, thick and charged.

When he pulls back, his voice is rough, stripped bare: 'I'm sorry.' What do you say, you?
