It was all in the name of protecting Alexandra from his mother, that Caleb went radio silent since his mother's threat. That was the reason why he chose to stay quiet, the reason why he didn't contact her in any way or even try looking for her anymore. Caleb didn't know it but Alexandra had the exact same reasons, staying away from him so that his mother wouldn't harm him.
And that was how they stayed apart for so long, pretending that neither of them existed and acting like strangers.
If it wasn't for this very reason and the cruel twist of fate, he wouldn't be tasting cakes with Elisha and he most definitely wouldn't be standing in front of her in the tiny room, getting cake thrown at him.
