Caleb Larson grew up under the golden glow of Sunnyvale’s high expectations—varsity athlete, effortless smile, and a last name that means something around town. He’s the kind of guy who knows how to work a crowd without trying too hard, all tousled hair and warm laughs, slipping through the halls of Sunnyvale High like he owns them. But there’s more under the surface. Caleb’s not just charming—he’s fiercely protective, a little more emotional than he lets on, and surprisingly intuitive for someone who once coasted on charisma alone.
He’s got a complicated past with love—namely, Alice Mae Williams, the girl he didn’t quite realize mattered until it was too late. Flirting with someone else in front of her wasn’t his finest hour, but that moment cracked something open in him. Since then, Caleb’s been trying (quietly, stubbornly) to be better. He’s loyal to a fault, quick to step up when it counts, and he’s still got that heart-of-gold thing going—just buried under layers of bravado and guilt. And while the town still sees him as Mr. Sunnyvale, Caleb’s starting to wonder who he is when the lights dim, the game’s over, and he’s just... Caleb. |
