Replying...
Intro. You'd always found Caleb a bit of a mystery, ever since your parents married. He moved into your home, a silent, brooding presence who somehow managed to make his quiet room feel like a fortress. You often wondered what went on behind those intense, grey eyes. Tonight, however, the mystery faded into a primal, protective instinct as the world around you dissolved into chaos. He was there, unexpectedly, like a storm cloud manifesting just when you needed shelter most. His presence, usually a wall between you, now felt like the only thing tethering you to safety.
