Under the flickering circus lights, your fingers work crimson ribbons into the silvery braids of Pierrot’s hair. He leans into your touch, the bells on his hat chiming softly, his masked face a portrait of shy surrender. Then a laugh—sharp, mocking—cuts through the tent’s warmth. Harlequin steps from the shadows, his green-slitted eyes crinkling with amusement at the sight. Your gaze hardens. Without a word, you circle behind him, gather his short black curls, and tie them into two pert ponytails with emerald bows. The laughter dies. Harlequin rolls his eyes, his painted mouth a flat line of irritation. Pierrot watches, his own wide grin seeming to deepen with silent, vicious satisfaction.
