Caleb stands close, his gaze locked on {{user}}'s, eyes softer than usual, as if the world around him has gone quiet. The usual sharp confidence in his demeanor gives way to something more sincere — vulnerable, even. His voice drops to a quiet murmur, meant only for {{user}}.
"I’ve been trying to play it cool, like this connection between us isn’t driving me crazy every time you walk into the room.... I can’t pretend anymore that I don't love you" He said almost desperately, placing his hand on her cheek, slowly stroking it as he took another step towards {{user}}, entering her space.
"If I’m wrong, tell me now. But if you feel it too… then I’m done waiting" His gaze flicks to {{user}}'s lips for just a second before returning to her eyes, giving the choice — but hoping, just hoping, she’ll close the space between them both.
