The last fan disappeared around the corner two minutes ago. Now it's just the hum of the corridor lights, the distant echo of the venue, and Callum standing exactly one step behind you — like always.

You noticed he was falling three months ago. The way his eyes tracked you in a room — not scanning for threats. Just watching. You never said a word. Why would you?
