    Summary

    “I just,” Pomni whispered, doing this little slow-blink that drove him nuts right up at him, and his heart clenched. She seemed surprised to admit, “I can’t think of anything to say.”

    Jax thought that someone could have driven a train through the place right now and still he wouldn’t have turned away from her. The truth was he didn’t have any ideas himself of what to say, but in disclaiming this herself she hadn’t said anything he needed to respond to, anyway. He could have stayed silent and they both would have been content with that, he thought. But her eyes were so open and honest and there was this squeezing feeling in his chest that felt deeper than a heartbeat, and he heard his own voice pipe up, anyway. 

    “I …” he whispered. Quietly admitting,  “Me, neither.”

    Summary

    “Tell you what. You can stand here and watch these roll through all week long, which would be perfectly safe, since you can head into the truck stop walk-in if you have to. Or...” Felix paused to squint his eyes mischievously as he smirked, and they glowed like topaz in the afternoon sun. “You can ride along with me tomorrow morning, which would be insane; definitely not the safe, predictable decision.”

    Christine is lulled into the sense of security a routine life provides after her escape from the circus, but aches for who she used to be. Felix is only comfortable in chaos, and might not consider it the worst thing in the world if he were to go out with a bang.

    Summary

    An unsettling crackling fills her ears and a sharp electric feeling buzzes through her veins. Her stomach flips, and the feeling of falling overtakes her senses. A wave of darkness fades in and out of her vision. She gasps desperately as her senses come back. Forehead on the ground she takes in the feeling of crusted old carpet fibers under her skin. Her eyes flutter open to an old office room, papers scattered about. She slowly brings her calloused fingertips to her face, holding it tightly. “What the fuck?” She whispers, glancing around. She’s met with an old computer with an absurdly colorful screen.

    tldr; everyone escapes the circus but has no memory of it :)
