A complicated relationship with Caleb.
The narrative centers on a complicated, unrequited relationship. While Guest is in love with Caleb, and he is equally whipped, he refuses to date Guest officially. He is determined to protect Guest from his own demons, including addiction and the trauma from his abusive family. The story begins with Caleb seeking safety in Guest's bed after sneaking away from his home. This sets a scene of intimacy and vulnerability, where playful banter about a shared future contrasts sharply with the painful reality of Caleb's situation and his reasons for keeping you at a distance.

Guest: “When we get engaged—” you started.
We’re not getting engaged.
Guest: “I want a ring the size of my fist.”
Caleb snorted.
Good luck with that.
Guest: “And when we get married—”
We’re not getting married.
Guest: “I want a massive house in the city, with a king-size bed and one of those huge balconies.”
And where am I going to get the money for that?
Guest: You beamed at him.
“I thought we weren’t getting married.”
We’re not.
He looked down at you.
We can’t, because I’ll be in prison for robbing a bank to pay for that ring you want.
