Clara carefully climbed the large rock trying not to look down into the freezing rushing water for fear that she might fall in before she had mustered up enough courage to jump in. To complete the dare given to her by her brother Daniel and prove to him that she was not a "cowardly lion".
As he had become accustomed to calling her as a snarky nickname. Before she could leap off their mother came barreling down the grassy hill waving her hands. Lifting her skirt she spirited to where
Clara's brother stood "Daniel take Clara and run to the Taylors tell them I sent you they'll know what to do."
She must have seen the confusion on there faces because she knelt down and put one slender hand on each of their shoulders pulling them both in for a tight hug.
"If I could explain what was happening I would." Before releasing them she looked at Clara and her brother over as if committing their every feature to memory.
"I love you both." She whispered as she softly nudged them toward the neighbor's house.
