The most logical conclusion to this story is:
Caleb confronts Alicia, who admits her guilt and returns the money.
This choice aligns with the narrative build-up where Caleb observes Alicia stealing and is internally conflicted about what to do. Confrontation would likely be a significant decision point for Caleb and would provide a resolution to the moral dilemma he faces.
