"Dangerous"
written by

“Am I dangerous?”
Melissa looked up from her breakfast, her eyes narrowed.
“Dangerous?” She set her fork down and pondered. “Reliable... generous... fun... Those are words I associate with you, Jack.”
“Hmmm...” he murmured with a frown.
“Do you want to be dangerous?” she asked, grinning.
“Reliable is what you say about an old horse, or a wagon that never gave you trouble.”
“What's this about?”
Jack returned to his eggs. “Just the musings of a man at the halfway point of his life, wondering.”
“Wondering what?” she asked, her playfulness gone, taking his hand in hers.
“If I'm happy.”
