That line included a lot of dangerous things; like doing meth, playing Russian roulette, and juggling dynamite. But the most deadly on that list, is falling in love.

Falling in love has four steps that can take years or minutes, and it's almost impossible to stop. There's the trip, the stumble, not catching yourself...and then the ultimate fall. Well, let's just say the ground was extra slippery as of lately.
