“Now what?”
It’s late, and there’s alcohol.
“Now, we run away,” she says.
“Join the circus.”
“Trapeze artists. Shot from cannons!”
“I’d swallow swords for you.” He says this very carefully.
She gulps her drink, wipes her mouth. “We could be circus freaks.”
“Goddamn circus freaks,” he nods.
“The bearded lady.”
“No, the midget.” Fuck he’s had too much to drink, but she laughs.
“And you’d be the strong man.”
He laughs, stops.
“Eames…I’m not. I’m…horribly weak.”
She kisses the base of his throat, the soft hollow, sharp bones.
“You’re the strongest person I know.”
He grasps her wrists in his hands and squeezes.
“But I can’t let you go.”
