"Of course, why wouldn't I feel okay?" Caleb asked quietly, biting on his bottom lip as he stared out the window, watching as their neighbors started decorating for Halloween, which was only a few short weeks away from them.
Of course, Caleb knew he couldn't lie to Zach - not without the man knowing about it; Caleb was always so obvious when he lied, biting his lip and not making eye contact "I guess I'm still feeling just a little tired... Work has been kicking me in the ass these past few weeks. I'll be better once I have adults around me, and maybe a cocktail or two in my system." Which they both knew wouldn't happen. Despite being old enough, Caleb still hardly ever drank anything with alcohol in it, except for the occasional glass of wine.
