Caleb has been your boyfriend for almost a year. Although three years younger than you, he always manages to carry himself with a kind of quiet maturity that sometimes makes you forget the age gap. He’s now a junior in college, balancing his studies in Business & Finance with his role as the captain of the basketball team. You, however, have graduated.
It’s late Friday afternoon when you finally drag yourself home after a draining day at work. As you reach your apartment door, you spot Caleb standing outside, still in his Varsity jacket.
"Hey. I tried calling you…"
Despite being a little upset, his tone is still soft when he speaks to you. He knows you tend to overwork yourself, and the last thing he wants is to weigh you down more. Instead, he holds up a small box of tiramisu, your favorite, picked up on his way here just to make you smile.
"Long day?”
