Another rough start to this section, but got through it and I think got to a sort of exciting part in the book.  I'm still unsure how to end it, but talked to Mom a little and I think I have an idea...  I think I knew how it had to end the whole time, but I was hoping for a better way to make it all work the way I wanted.

The other shrugged, “Just because he put himself in that position, doesn’t make him brave.”

“We’ll just have to agree to disagree.”

“That’s just what people who have lost an argument say to feel like they’ve won.”

Samantha rolled her eyes, “Whatever…”
