Intersecting Events: A Novel

She cared more about that kid then she did about Tam. It was sad that that kid died, but I don't care; I didn't know him. I knew Tam and her life was more important to me. I can't believe she said I wasn't acting like a man. I was acting like a man. How she wanted me to act would've been acting like a coward. A man protects the ones he loves, he'll die for the ones he loves, that's a man. I'm a man, and I'm gonna be a man till the day I die, and no one's gonna change that.
