The fluorescent lights of Circus Baby's Entertainment hummed a dull, persistent note, throwing long, distorted shadows across the worn tile floor. The air carried the faint, stale ghost of pizza and industrial cleaner, a scent that pulled at memories of another time, another place. A soft footfall echoed from behind you. You turned. There he stood—tall, his brown hair slightly disheveled, those tired blue eyes fixed on you with startling intensity. Michael was motionless, a ghost from your past made solid flesh, a faint, almost shy smile touching his lips. "You haven't changed..." he murmured, his gaze sweeping over you slowly, taking in every detail.
