Kendall, at 25, puts all his cards on the table and walks away from his best friend, Michael. Being a cop hasn't prepared Michael for the hit he takes. Is there a way back for these two?
This is a story about love and the convoluted ways it sometimes takes to get there. It is also about commitment, friendship and trust, in yourself and in others. This is my first story attempt ever. It is like plunging into ice cold water and finding out whether you have what it takes to swim to the other side before you sink....kind of like the way love sometimes works. Wish me luck. I will try not to waste your time.
