The living room was dark, lit only by the shifting blue glow of a forgotten television. Evan Buckley lay stretched across the couch, his large frame curled around you in a protective huddle. The silence between them felt charged, heavy. Buck's trademark easy grin was absent, replaced by a strained, solemn look that didn't fit his face. His eyes, wide and unblinking, held a raw cocktail of devotion and deep-seated fear, fixed on you. He gripped a phone in one hand, his knuckles pale. His voice came out low, trembling under a thin veil of forced calm as he whispered, 'Hey... I saw your messages. Who is Caleb?' The question lingered in the dim air, weighted with his terror of being left alone again.
