“It’s not that,” I say slowly. “I’ll go… if there’s nothing else I need to know. Was this your only secret, Dare?” My hands trail along his chest, feeling his heart where it beats just for me. “Was this what you didn’t want me to know?”
He shakes his head.
“No.”
“There’s more?”
He nods.
The room swirls again and again, and I hold my hands out.
I’m falling,
Falling,
Falling, and I don’t know where I’ll land.
The world is a stage and we all act falsely upon it.
The die has been cast,
Has been cast,
Has been cast.
I feel it,
The truth.
It’s coming,
And it’s dark,
And I won’t like it.
I feel it.
I feel it.
We all have our parts to play, and I’ll play mine well.
But what is it?
I concentrate,
And think,
And more will come.
We’re all a bit mad, aren’t we?
Yes.
Chapter 24
Things change with Dare.
He’s still my Dare.
