Amusing how it is drawing close to Halloween, the night spirits rise from the dead, and tonight, standing in the lobby of Chimera, I saw a ghost. Not exactly a ghost, of course, but someone who was supposed to have died almost three years ago.

Caleb was one of the Rendezvous crowd, a fallen priest with a penchant for cigarettes, alcohol, and of course, debauchery. And I, was one of his favorite ways to indulge in that sinful obsession of his. I never realized the impact we'd had on one another until I saw him standing there.

I'd missed him. Truly, honestly missed the man, and yet, ask me if I could think of a moment when I'd thought on him in the last year, and I couldn't admit to a single moment.

Caleb has changed. Then again, we have both changed in the time apart, and yet there is one thing that seems to have not faded for him -- his hunger to have me.

I admit to a certain degree of temptation, but I have firmly told him where I stand, explained to him that my heart, as well as my body are Fallon's, and that I cannot, and will not go against that. I haven't been with another man in three years, since finding out I was pregnant with Malachai, and even with the reappearance of Caleb, I won't break this unwritten rule between Fallon and I, because I know if I found out he'd fucked another woman, I would be devastated...and I cannot imagine ever betraying him that way with another man.

Still, it is good to have Caleb back around, and he's taken on the head of Security position that hasn't really been filled since Dwayne left.
