He stepped back, the distance returning like it had always been there. “We’re going back,” he said. I didn’t argue. But as I turned, one thing stayed clear in my mind. This wasn’t over. Not even close.

I said, my words tinged with urgency. But Caleb's expression remained unchanged, his eyes scanning the horizon with a steely resolve. "We can't turn back now," he said, his voice unwavering. "We've come too far to give up." His words sent a shiver down my spine, a cold chill that cut through the oppressive heat of the air. For in that moment, I realized that our journey was far from over—that the greatest challenges still lay ahead, waiting to test the limits of our strength and courage.

The unspoken understanding between us grew stronger, a silent vow that we would navigate this world together, supporting each other through the trials that lay ahead. A question lingered in the air, unspoken but palpable. Could we stay here? Could we afford to remain in this place, where danger seemed to lurk around every corner? I knew deep down that the answer was no. We had to keep moving, to seek safety in the unknown, trusting that the path we forged would lead us to a better tomorrow.

“So should you.” I sat on the edge of the couch, close enough that our knees brushed. For a while we did not speak, and the silence wasn’t suffocating this time. It was full, heavy with everything neither of us could name yet. Finally, I said, “You didn’t have to come.”

What I knew was enough, and that ends there. "I don't think you still need to know. We both came here to get to know each other for what I remember, not to talk about other people, especially that a**h*le. Let’s just try to enjoy the night.” He was right.
