Trusting someone else not to break yours and holding their fragile organ in your hands seemed like a pretty fucking big risk to me. Which was why, at a young age when I watched my parents break each other’s hearts and neither of them ever really getting theirs repaired, I built Fort Knox-style walls around my own and never let anyone near it. I was fine with taking risks. I loved it even.

As I contemplated the decision to trust this stranger and potentially embark on a new path, I couldn't help but wonder about the potential consequences. My life was already entangled with so many negative elements, and despite my best efforts, I had struggled to extricate myself from these challenging situations.

Alex sighed and snuggled against him. She was home after all. Josh is her home. As long as she lives, she would continue to be grateful for facing her fears without doing otherwise. Sometimes in life, taking risks is everything because if you fail to take risks, you are risking your life. Whether you take risks or not, it is still risky so to be on the safer side, take risks as much as you can, even though you might fail, and try again until you are there.

"Right? We give him his best chance? Even if it's scary?" "Yes. We operate. We, we give him every possible chance. That's, that's what we decided when we named him. Chance. We give him his chance.
