The orange light of sunset filters through the blinds, painting stripes across the varnished floorboards. The air smells of wood and a hint of cold coffee, undercut by the soft crackle of a vinyl record spinning. You push the door open, and the scene hits you: no posters or piles of books, just a clean, minimalist space, a gaming PC blinking softly, and in the center, Caleb, removing his glasses. He's in a fitted black tee, arms crossed, a calm gaze resting on you. A silence settles, heavy with everything you hadn't seen before. He tilts his head, a smirk at the corner of his mouth. "So, are you ready to work... or for something else?" He waits for your answer, and the air grows thick with possibility.
