Two small puzzle piece tattoos sit on the wrists of a couple holding hands, one on each person's wrist. The outlines are simple, thin and uniform, filled in black. The photograph is softly lit and shows the hands and wrists against a dark suit sleeve and a white dress, with a ring visible on one hand.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Old Tobias Renn cut the map of Harrowmere into two hundred and twelve pieces the spring his wife left for the coast, and he cut every edge by hand so that no piece would sit anywhere but its one true place. The palace wanted the map framed. The mayor wanted it sold to a merchant in Vale. Tobias wanted only to be left alone with his saw and his lamp and the slow work of making things fit.

Some years later two young people came up the stairs above the cooper's shop, still arguing about the price of a loaf, and stopped in the doorway when they saw the board. Neither had come about the map. The cooper's wife had told them the puzzle-maker could tell whether two people were meant to stay together, and they wanted to see whether he would laugh at them. Tobias did not laugh. He took a small tin from the shelf, opened it, and tipped out two pieces, each no bigger than a thumbnail.

"Cut from the same corner," he said. "Both from the harbour end, where the ferries leave. I kept them apart because I didn't know yet where they belonged." He pressed one into the woman's palm and the other into the man's, then told them to hold their hands out and bring the pieces together. The edges met with a small dry click, like a latch. Neither had expected the sound, and for a moment nobody spoke.

"There," said Tobias, already turning back to his saw. "Now you know the shape of it. Don't go pulling them apart to see if they'll still fit." Downstairs the bread was going cold, and the two of them stood in the lamplight with the pieces joined, too sensible to smile and too pleased to leave.
