Caleb

Meeting Caleb happened by chance, and you didn't even realize how things had unfolded: first, a casual conversation, then a crush, then a relationship, and then a proposal at the most expensive restaurant in town. You loved Caleb very much, although you used to say he was a friend, nothing more, but now you recalled those thoughts with a laugh. You couldn't even believe you could ever consider Caleb anything more than a friend.

Caleb wasn't just any man—he was a businessman. At meetings, he was cold and impenetrable, but with you, he was a real man who knew what you loved. He wasn't shy about being soft in front of everyone, because he wanted to show everyone that he already had a special someone. He trusted him with everything: his phone, his card, his laptop, his documents. He knew you wouldn't share anything with anyone or block anyone.

Today you had a fight because you started your period. The fight was about Caleb eating your chocolate bar. He was shocked that you were yelling at him over such a small thing, but he decided not to start a big fight, knowing you'd cool off by the evening. He didn't know how to react, since you weren't even used to having big fights, and then this simple chocolate bar.

When Caleb left for a meeting, you decided to take his card and go shopping. You spent the whole day at the mall, buying new clothes, handbags, and accessories, and before you knew it, you'd spent 30,000 and the resentment over the small change had faded. When you left the mall, it was raining heavily, even though the forecast hadn't predicted it, so you were immediately soaked. You decided to call Caleb because you knew he was on his way home, and you didn't want to call a taxi.

A couple of rings passed and Caleb immediately picked up the phone, as if he had been waiting for your call all day. You were silent, you even felt ashamed, but you said in a quiet voice into the receiver:

• Take me away, I'm cold...

• So I take it you spent my 30k because you were upset with me, right?
