Showman
Lora washed, Rinzler dried; it was routine, almost normal. Oftentimes, he would turn the plates over and over in his hands, weighing, considering. Troubled? Lora didn't ask; pushing Rinzler never helped. He'd get there eventually.
And he did: flinging a saucer high, end over end, catching it on the back of his hand, running it down his arm, and bringing it arcing back over his head, into his outstretched palm.
As Lora gaped, Rinzler caught her eye, raised the saucer, and set it spinning on the tip of his finger.
She applauded, and for the first time, saw him smile.
