"Dangerous"

“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.”
