The world is full of people with opinions and advice.
“Strike while the iron’s hot” or “take a chance”.
Those are the most popular. The worst of it was spouted the day I met the man who would eventually break my heart.
Yet it was another word that changed both our lives: dare.
 
Jaxson Shaw hasn’t met a dare he wouldn’t take. Known to the world as Daire Deville, he chose life in the fast lane over a slower life with me. All because of a dare.
Now he’s back. The advice givers are too. “Take the plunge”. I heard again.
The water under this bridge runs red.
Some depths don’t need to be explored. Even if they are necessary.
