Karla leaned farther forward, taking Sandra’s hand in hers. “Yes, it could change things,” Karla said in a calm voice. “But you can’t live your life without taking risks. If this is something you want to go for, you at least need to try. It’s worse to live with the what-ifs than it is to take the plunge and fail. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.” “I have everything to lose,” Sandra said in a raw voice. “I lost Clement and it would devastate me to ever lose Derrick’s friendship. It would devastate me to lose yours or Sophia’s. I don’t want to lose anyone else I love.”

Nellie said again. . "Now my own is that I want to know who's in support of this our impromptu adventure" Brock said and everyone hands went up in the air,except Nellie.Before she could say anything,Kyle went to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. .

I scooted over closer to her, "me too, well not the same way but don't you think I'm scared too. I mean I'm either about to fuck my life up completely or have an adventure I will never forget but I'm not stupid. I know this will not end up all roses and rainbows."

I'm always the play it safe one and now I'm ready to try something new. I thought we had already talked about this. I thought you were ok with it."

She had very little to lose now, so risks were acceptable. Well. Calculated risks. And as a potential one-night-stand, an MC guy had too many unknown factors attached, too many questionable activities, too much history. That made a guy like that an incalculable risk and therefore, unacceptable. Wild beard and inked body be damned.

Not heavy. Not pressing. Present. Lyra leaned back slightly, letting the quiet exist without filling it. And then she saw it clearly. For years, risk had meant something precise. Loss of control. Exposure. Failure that carried consequences beyond herself. Something to anticipate. Something to counter. Something to survive. This was different.

If we keep playing it safe, we’ll end up blending in with everyone else.” They stared at Alexander, waiting for his response. He looked thoughtful, but Sophia could see the tension in his jaw. “Fine,” he said finally. “But if this fails, it’s on all of us.”
