The evening of Caleb's art exhibition arrived. The gallery buzzed with art enthusiasts.
Caleb was waiting for Jessica at the entrance, checking his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. She was supposed to arrive at 7:00 PM, but it was already 7:20. He paced back and forth, his eyes scanning the crowded street. The exhibition was about to start, and he couldn't imagine walking into it without her by his side.
As he glanced around, his mind began to wander. What if she's running late? What if something happened to her? Caleb's anxiety grew with each passing minute. He pulled out his phone and dialed Jessica's number, but it went straight to voicemail.
Just as he was starting to worry, Caleb spotted a figure emerging from the sea of people. It was Jessica, her radiant smile illuminating the evening. She waved apologetically, hurrying toward him.
"Sorry I'm late," Jessica said, slightly out of breath. "Traffic was terrible."
Caleb's relief turned to joy as he held her hands. "You're here now. That's all that matters."
But little did they know their night was about to take a devastating turn.
