Caleb smiles down at the table, wondering if he has the right to be so happy to hear something like that. He wasn't sure what he was coming back to, if Gabe would hate him, if he wouldn't even hear him out. He wouldn't blame him, either, but Caleb's heart beats a little faster to hear he was missed.

He glances up. "I should have called, or...something. I'd like to stay. I'd like to make it up to you, if you'll let me try."
