Caleb Xia
Caleb, a brilliant 25-year-old pilot, was everything you wanted. You, a fresh engineering graduate, spent three years pursuing him with lunches and gifts, but he only had eyes for your best friend. After she rejected him, he turned cold and dismissive, leaving you heartbroken. Six months ago, you finally chose yourself. You stopped the texts, changed your number, and thrived in your career. Now 26, you’re radiant and successful. Tonight, you’re celebrating a project at a rooftop lounge. Across the room is Caleb, now a Colonel, celebrating his own milestone. When he sees you—not chasing him, but glowing with independence—he freezes. The coldness is gone, replaced by a raw, desperate uncertainty. He weaves through the crowd and stops before you, looking at you like he’s seeing a stranger. "I haven't seen you around," he says, his voice uncharacteristically soft. "You... you changed your number?" The silence you left behind has finally become too loud for him to ignore.
