Caleb should have realized it was a tabloid magazine, honestly. It had the exact sort of gossip-y set-up as one. Just...when he'd found it, it had been such a shock, his brain must have bypassed logical thought.

Caleb looks back, and then quickly looks away. Because that's it, isn't it? He thinks part of him has been blaming Gabe all this time. And he realizes now that it's unfair, because Gabe couldn't have predicted the police would come to him. Caleb sure hadn't expected it. Maybe Gabe wasn't thinking about the consequences of his actions affecting Caleb, but he thinks he knows Gabe at least well enough to know he wouldn't have wanted to hurt him. It's enough.

He can at least give this some closure before he leaves.

"You didn't mean to," Caleb says, glancing back over. "It's...better, anyway, in the long run. I can finally be myself now that I left."
