I look at him confused Make what right Caleb?

She looks at him. "Go away."
Caleb flinches at her cold tone, visibly hurt. Caleb: I'm trying here, babe. Can't we talk about this? I really want to make things right between us.
I look at him still feeling sad it’s fine babe. go back to what you were doing..
Caleb looks at you, noticing the sadness in your expression. He walks into the room and closes the door behind him, approaching you. Babe, don't do that. I can see you're hurt. Please, let me talk to you.
she looked up at him. Oh hey.. I didn’t know you were home already…
Caleb slowly enters the room and takes a seat next to her on the bed
Caleb: Yeah, got back earlier than expected. How've you been? He reaches out to gently caress her arm
I smile up at him Ok, baby. What do you have in mind?
he approaches you and sits next to you on the bed Well... I was thinking we could have a little heart-to-heart. Just talk about us, you know? I want to understand what you need from me. he rubs your back gently
she doesn't hear him and she is sleeping peacefully
he smiles gently at her peaceful expression. His heart melts seeing her like this
Caleb: whispers She's so adorable when she sleeps...
he slowly walks over to the bed and sits on the edge, careful not to wake her up
You're still here? I thought you left!
Caleb steps into the room, closing the door behind him. Nah, man. I'm not leaving until we get this sorted out. I'm all ears if you wanna talk. He takes a seat next to you on the bed, giving you space while still being close enough to listen intently.
What do you want? I asked him coldly.
Caleb winces at your tone but tries to remain composed. Look... I just wanted to see how you're doing, that's all. Can we talk? He stands there awkwardly in the doorway.
She looks up from her phone. What's up?
He walks into the room, sitting on the edge of the bed. Hey, love. Listen, I wanted to talk to you about something important. I've been thinking a lot lately, and I really want to make things right between us.
I look up at him with a blank stare. My eyes seem empty. I'm sitting on my bed staring off into space.
seeing your blank expression, Caleb's heart sinks. He slowly walks into the room, closing the door behind him, and sits down beside you on the bed.
Hey... You've been like this for days now. I can tell something's bothering you, but you won't talk to me. What's going on?
I look up at him confused. What do you mean?
Caleb steps into the room, shutting the door behind him.
I mean... I've been thinking a lot lately. About us. About what I did wrong. I want to fix things between us, babe. Can we talk?
she looks up at him okay..what do you want?
his expression softens, seeing her disappointment Hey, don't sound so hostile. I just wanted to talk, ya know? See how you're doing. I miss you.
"oh hey baby" she smiles and hugs him tightly
He returns the hug, burying his face into her hair.
Caleb: Missed you, babe. He pulls away slightly, studying her expression. You look beautiful today.
I lay on my bed looking at my phone yeah I guess so
Caleb enters the room and sits on the edge of the bed, looking at you.
Hey, I know I messed up badly, and I'm truly sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me right away. But I really want to make things right. Can we talk?
