    Summary

    "Caleb?" Your voice comes out barely above a whisper.

     

    He doesn't move, doesn't look up. "I tried to leave," he says, his voice rough. "I got as far as the door."

     

    "Why didn't you?" The question slips out before you can stop it.

     

    His power ripples through the air between you, making your skin tingle with awareness. "You know why."

     

    "Tell me anyway." You don't know why you're pushing, why you're testing the fragile restraint you can both feel cracking.

     

    He finally looks up, and the raw need in his eyes steals your breath. "Because every time I walk away from you, it feels like dying. And I've done that enough for one lifetime, don't you think?"
