John Davey Harris

The circus sprawled on the outskirts of town, like a vast, colorful tent straight out of a fairy tale. It was especially crowded today: posters promised a performance by Lololoshka, an aerialist whose tricks were called "dancing with gravity." John sat in the front row, in a specially designated VIP area. His appearance stood out sharply among the motley crowd: a snow-white scientist's coat, impeccably pressed white trousers, an orange checkered scarf, and bright orange sunglasses. He lazily surveyed the audience, tapping his fingers on the armrest of his chair. His dark blond hair was neatly styled, and his brown eyes held a familiar self-assurance—a man accustomed to the world revolving around him.
The music began to play—softly at first, almost a whisper, then with increasing confidence. The spotlights flickered and focused on the trapeze under the dome. Lololoshka appeared in the spotlight. Lo smiled at the audience—openly and warmly, without a hint of arrogance. His blue eyes sparkled in the light, his light brown hair slightly tousled by the movement. He easily ascended the trapeze, made a few practice swings, and the magic began.
He spun in the air, hovering for a moment, seemingly defying the laws of physics, performing somersaults and flips with such grace that the audience held its breath. Every movement was precise, yet filled with a vibrant, genuine joy. At one point, Lo looked down, caught the eye of someone in the front row, and winked—and the audience erupted in applause.
John, who had looked bored just a moment ago, suddenly sat up straight in his chair. His fingers froze, and his gaze through his orange glasses remained fixed on the gymnast.
“Incredible…” he said quietly, not noticing how a rare, genuine smile appeared on his lips.
"Who is this gymnast?" he asked his assistant abruptly.
"Lololoshka, sir. The star of our circus," the assistant replied.
"I want to meet him," John said, his voice laced with the same determination with which he launched multimillion-dollar projects. "Right now."
