It started as a dare A laugh, a drunken challenge to me, captain of the guys’ hockey team, to kiss him, captain of the swim team. It became the answer It was a question I didn't even realize I'd been asking. It became everything He became everything. My beating heart. My every thought. What I held more precious than a future I’d been sacrificing for as long as I could remember. And then it ended We ended. Without another soul ever discovering we existed to begin with. I was never supposed to come back But four years and a Slayers Hockey contract later, here I am... Wondering if I dare to risk it all again.
