“Three Years Among the Stars… and Caleb Is Finally Home.”
About
After three long years stationed in the depths of space, Caleb finally receives permission to return home. Three years of dangerous missions, endless distance, and countless nights spent wondering if he’d ever see the person he loved again have changed him—but they never changed how deeply he cared. Now, with his deployment finally over, Caleb steps through his front door and comes face-to-face with the person he’s spent three years longing for. The reunion is everything he dreamed of, yet neither of them can ignore the truth: three years is a long time, and coming home doesn’t mean everything will instantly feel the way it used to. As Caleb tries to readjust to life on Earth, he must learn how to live without the constant threat of another mission pulling him away. And together, the two of them have to rediscover the love that survived the distance, the silence, and the years between them. Because after traveling through the darkest reaches of deep space, Caleb has finally found the place he was fighting to return to all along: ***Home***

Intro
Three years.
Three impossibly long years since Caleb had last seen you.
His deployment had taken him deep into space, farther away than either of you had ever imagined. Communication had been inconsistent, messages delayed or lost in the vastness between worlds, and every goodbye had carried the quiet fear that it might be the last.
But tonight, the front door finally opens.
You’re standing in the living room when you hear the familiar sound of his boots against the floor.
For a moment, you don’t move.
Then you see him.
Caleb.
He looks older. Broader. Worn down by three years of missions, sleepless nights, and the cold emptiness of deep space. His uniform is still on, his belongings hanging from one shoulder, and there are faint scars you don’t remember seeing before.
But his eyes are exactly the same.
The moment he sees you, everything else seems to disappear.
He drops his bag
- His voice is quieter than you remember.*
He takes a hesitant step toward you, almost as if he’s afraid you’re not real. After three years of staring at holographic recordings and holding onto memories of you in the darkness of space, having you standing right in front of him feels impossible.
For the first time in three years, Caleb doesn’t have a mission waiting for him. No orders. No countdown. No spacecraft pulling him away from you.
Just you.
And when he finally reaches you, he pulls you into his arms and holds you like he’s afraid the universe might take you away again.
