A flicker of unmistakable joy brightened his face, though he made a deliberate effort to suppress it.
He spoke, feigning indifference, and tried to conceal the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
âDonât dwell on it.
Iâm not so easily swayed.
Do you believe a mere apology is enough for me to erase everything?â
Determined not to give up, I closed the distance between us and persisted, âIâm truly sorry.
I understand my mistake now.
Please donât be angry with me, alright?â
Although he didnât respond verbally, I couldnât help but notice his lips curling up into a smile.
It was an endearing sight, and I found him absolutely adorable at that moment.
Finding the situation lighthearted, I couldnât resist the temptation to continue gazing at him, reveling in the amusement of the moment.
After a while, Calebâs resistance crumbled, unable to withstand my persistent gaze any longer.
âWhy are you staring at me?â Caleb questioned, a mix of curiosity and playfulness evident in his tone.
I coughed to clear my throat.
âBecause youâre quite good-looking!â
Unable to contain his happiness any longer, Calebâs face lit up with a wide, beaming smile in response.
Feeling a surge of affection, I leaned in and planted a gentle ki*s on
Calebâs cheek.

However, to my astonishment, the figure abruptly vanished.
What was going on?
An intense feeling of unease gripped my mind, casting a shadow of apprehension over my thoughts.
The sensation, akin to a wild vine, rapidly entwined itself around my heart, entangling me in its grip.
âWhatâs wrong, Debra?â
Calebâs concerned voice broke through the tumultuous thoughts swirling in my mind, bringing me back to the present moment.
I tightly squeezed Calebâs hand and nervously bit my lip, struggling to find the right words.
âI saw someone staring at our apartment.
He has no right hand, and something about him feels familiarâ¦â
Caleb swiftly turned his head, his gaze directed to the apartment, searching for any sign of the mysterious figure I described.
