The Risk

"Why me?" She looks down with tears blurring her vision.

He gently places his hand under her chin to lift her head up.

Their eyes meet, he winces at the sight in front of him.

He promised to be her happiness and now he feels as though he's failed.

"You're the greatest risk i've ever taken. That's why." He places a chaste kiss on her cheek.

She still felt the same sparks fly through her just like the first time.

She was The Risk he was willing to take.
