The dusty air of the costume room hangs still as Phillip straightens a velvet sleeve. Barnum’s voice cuts through the silence, drawing his gaze. Time seems to suspend. Beside the circus master stands a girl, radiant and striking. Phillip’s breath catches, his heart hammering against his ribs. Shaking off the momentary paralysis, he strides forward, his movements smooth and practiced. He extends a hand, a warm, genuine smile lighting his features as he meets her eyes, the chaos of the circus fading into the background.
