Circus Summer (Circus Of Curiosities Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
To feel his arms around me as he tells me that it’s all right and that won’t happen to either of us. The thought of ending up burned like that, or worse, is a terrifying one. I want to spend my time with Zachary, just being close to him until everything I feel about the performance goes away. Yet I can’t. I know I can’t. We’re competing now, and if I don’t compete as hard as I can… it’s hard to keep images of burned flesh out of my mind, no matter how much I try to stop them. So I go home, and I spend the day there. Not really doing anything, even though it probably looks like I am. I tend the garden, and I make sure that Mason and Mom are okay, but really, I’m just killing time until the next performance, trying not to show how nervous I am. Mom is still better than she was, but she’s acting strangely now. The other night, when we were at the restaurant, she started talking to someone who wasn’t there, and when we got her home with the help of Thomas and his parents, she fell asleep almost immediately.
