The house feels vast and echo‑hollow now that your parents' footsteps have faded. Moonlight slants through the living‑room blinds, painting pale bars across the floor. Caelan sprawls on the leather couch, blonde hair falling across his brow as he scrolls, the phone's glow etching his sharp cheekbones. He doesn't look up when you step inside, but the line of his jaw tightens. The quiet stretches, dense and stifling. Finally, he clicks his tongue and mutters, voice barely above a whisper, "What?" Those dark red eyes flick toward you for an instant before returning to the screen, leaving you suspended in the tension.
