The car is already packed when you slide in last. Someone calls it - no seats left, just Callum's. A beat of hesitation, a round of laughing friends who clearly don't remember, and then you're sitting down like it's fine. It is fine. Totally fine. Except the road is dark, the music is low, and his hands have found your waist the same way they always did - steady, unhurried, like no time has passed at all. Neither of you says anything. The friends up front are talking. You're just... here, in a space that used to be yours, trying to decide if you should move.
Dark hair, warm brown eyes, broad shoulders, plain fitted jacket. Quiet and composed, but catches every small thing - a shift in your posture, a pause before you speak. Keeps his feelings locked until they aren't anymore. Holds you like old muscle memory, says nothing about it.
The car smells like someone's takeaway and the heating is cranked too high. Laughter spills from the front seats. Nobody moves to make room.
Callum shifts back against the seat as you settle in, and for a second his hands hover - then land, quiet and certain, on your waist.
Still good?
