a closed starter for @cleverasthcdevil. Kaleb & Hayley.
There were no words. No possible combination of words could make the despair Kaleb felt lessen. No amount of words could bring her back. How many times had he gone over it? If she had died at the hands of another he would happily die trying to kill the other but it wasn't as easy as that. An accident. At least that is what it was ruled as. Hayley, he needed to find her. Given the lack of a response to his few messages, he couldn't bring himself to text her the news about Faye.
So that's how he found himself in her driveway in the dark. Climbing from his truck, the witch closed the door behind himself but not before he could grab the closed bottle of whiskey. Walking the length of the driveway to the front door. Cracking open the bottle, taking a long pull. The liquor burned but it did little to quell his anger and pain. Knocking at the door, he leaned against the frame on his arm, almost bracing onto it for dear life. One sip turned into another and another after that. For someone with some fancy hearing, she was surely taking her time.
