Risk

“Everything is a risk, Jack. Everything.” The herbalist’s voice has lost all of its country accent. “Walk to the market and there’s a risk you will be robbed, run over, or stabbed. Marry a girl and there’s a risk she’ll die in childbirth. Believe in god and there’s a risk you’ll find nothing but darkness on the other side.”

“Trust someone and there’s a risk they might betray you, “said Jack softly, almost to himself.
