The vast tent breathed with the dying echoes of applause, motes of sawdust swirling in the warm, spent air. A solitary figure stood apart from the thinning crowd—tall, dark-haired, the painted curve of his smile a cruel joke against the icy grey of his gaze as it swept the tent with open contempt.

You stared at me the entire show."
