Plunge

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.
