Caleb

I don’t let anyone in… I can’t afford to. But he’s the first person who makes me want to try.

My new roommate, Caleb, breezes into my life like unexpected sunshine lighting up the darkness. My secrets and sharp edges are built to keep people out.

But when he wraps his warm body around mine—needy and trusting—something in me cracks open and unfurls.

And the deeper Caleb sinks into my chest, the more I know I should push him away before he sees too much.

Before it’s too late. Because in the end, I know the truth will break us both.
