Dare:

a challenge

to do something dangerous

and foolhardy.

I dare you.

Three

stupid

words.

I dared him to order octopus at a restaurant and to eat it all.

He dared me to write a love letter, sign it Secret Admirer, and

sneak it to a teacher.

I dared him to pretend he was blind in the crystal section of

the department store.

This game,

or whatever it was,

became our little

thing.

Jackson,

the rock climber,

the white-water rafter

the extreme skier guy,

loved the feel of adrenaline

ROARING

through his veins.

For me,

it was scary,

and exhilarating,

all at the same time.

But i could have lived

without it.

All I needed

was Jackson.

I wish all he'd needed

was me.
