015: Circus
Geoffrey blanched when she suggested it. Flinched and tried to avoid it.
“Geoff, what’s wrong?” she asked. “Did I say something wrong?”
“No.”
“Geoff? C’mon. You’re not afraid of some lions, or something, are you?”
“No.”
“Exactly. You’re not afraid of anything. So what is it?”
He mumbled something under his breath. She leaned in to better hear him, and tugged on his sleeve inquisitively. He mumbled it again. She almost caught it that time.
“Geoff, what are you saying?” she demanded, exasperated.
“I’m afraid of clowns!” Geoffrey yelled.
She took a step back. “Jesus. I’m sorry.”
“Cathy, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell,” he said, reaching for her with one hand and making a vague motion in the air with the other.
“We don’t have to go. It was just a suggestion,” Catharine said.
“You could go.”
“But who would I hide behind when they bring out the tigers?”
