#caleb threads

caleb was fighting the urge to grab a glass of something stronger than the water that was currently in his hand. he wasn't feeling on edge or anything, but with such a mixture of people in one room, he couldn't help feeling the need to throw back some dutch courage. still, he resisted, eyes scanning the room to find a familiar face that he didn't want to punch. said eyes scanning the room must have looked particularly intense because he felt them lock on to someone across the room, someone who was now coming over.

Despite trying to pretend like he was okay after he and Audrey had broken up, Caleb was struggling. He didn’t understand what he had done wrong, were things had started to go downhill. If he was honest, part of him thought that Audrey admitting she still had feelings for Ashton was just admitting that their relationship had been a ruse, something to distract herself with. He knew that he owed Audrey more credit and he was really trying to give her it, it was just hard. He was just glad that his friends had rallied around him - Amber included. And the two of them going to the cafe seemed pretty perfect.  “You should try this milkshake, it’s pretty good, you know?” Caleb raised an eyebrow. “You want some?” He asked, holding out the glass to her.

Caleb had been on his way home from work when he spotted Audrey. They had found out at the night of the party that the two of them didn’t live far from one another so he chuckled as he say her, “Hey - Audrey!” He called, jogging slightly so that he could catch up with her. “How’re you doing?” He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He had wanted to talk to her more so he was definitely going to enjoy the time with her now.

caleb was feeling the strain of splitting his time doing what cruz had asked for and taking care of his regular daily duties. he wouldn't let it show though, not a chance. any display of weakness was like a death sentence, and he was all about keeping his head above water.

to alleviate any further stress on himself today, he'd decided to make a call to see his younger sister. he needed time away from work for now, and she was so rarely involved in the family dirt and mess that it felt like a break to see her. he hadn't called ahead, so she might not even be home or want to see him, but he wouldn't know if he didn't try.

he knocked heavily on the wooden door, shoving his hands into his pockets as he waited for her to answer. "mari? es tu hermano favorito. open up."

after the events of the halperin fundraiser, caleb had plenty to think about. he'd spent the morning going over the books, dotting the i's and crossing the t's and making sure everything was in order. he'd asked javier to stop by as soon as he could, keen to debrief the whole evening before either of them spoke to the boss. he ran his hands through his hair, taking a moment to collect himself before his cousin arrived.

a knock sounded at the door and caleb knew he didn't need to answer it, javier would let himself in. "that you, javi?" he called out, rising from his chair and picking up two glasses, filling one with water and one with whiskey, and set both of them on the table in the corner before he sat back down.
