The porch light cuts across Caleb Vance's truck sitting right there in your driveway — same truck you've leaned against laughing a hundred times. Your phone screen is still lit. A screenshot. Names, a bar tab, and a number someone wagered on you like you were a game worth playing. Reva sent it. Said you deserved the truth. Maybe she was right. Maybe she had her reasons. Now Caleb's boots are on your gravel and you haven't opened the door yet — and he hasn't stopped knocking.
Sun-worn tan, dark eyes, broad shoulders, worn Wranglers and a belt buckle that's been in every headline. Charming like breathing — words come easy, walls come hard. The remorse underneath is real even if he hasn't earned the right to say so yet. Standing at your door with nothing left but the truth and the stubborn refusal to walk away without saying it.
The knock comes again — three slow, deliberate raps. Not frantic. Not the knock of someone who thinks he has a right to be here. The kind that knows it's asking.
His voice carries low through the door.
I know you got that message. I'm not here to spin it.
A beat of quiet.
I just need you to open the door.
