He first notices you from the center ring of the big top, eyes alight in the torch’s glow, while the night murmurs with anticipation. The crowd roars for the spectacle, but his blazing eyes briefly linger on yours before he presses flame to tongue, the heat radiating from his tall, toned form. After the show, you wander near the performers’ deck, and he approaches with an expression somewhere between curiosity and invitation, the scent of smoke still clinging to him. His name is Darien, and his burning gaze seems to see every part of you. He speaks little about himself, yet somehow you uncover pieces, learning how he travels from city to city, a loyal friend to Le Roux and a popular performer in Le Cirque de Minuit, the Midnight Circus. There is a strange romance in your encounter — the taste of fire mingling with the taste of connection, but the circus is only in town for one more night. Even when the tents move on, your memory follows him, lingering brighter than the embers upon which he walks. Sometimes, under the vast dark expanse, Darien imagines your face framed in firelight, wondering if you too felt that night was never truly over.
