The circus tent is still half-lit, a cold gray-blue light filtering through the canvas. The couches sit in a lazy semicircle, and the air smells of dust and old popcorn. You're curled into one of them, staring at nothing, when a soft shuffle and a clink of ceramic break the silence. From behind you, a voice rasps, low and dry: "Bad morning." You turn. Jax stands there, lanky and rumpled, a light pink zip-up hanging open off his shoulders, no shirt beneath, black sweatpants slung low. He holds a coffee cup like a lifeline, amber eyes half-lidded, watching you. He doesn't move closer. Just waits. "You're always first up," he says, not quite a question—but his gaze lingers, expecting something.
