"I'm not gonna make you argue that." That seemed cruel somehow. "But you ain't gonna make me believe you don't care about if Tim's alive or dead. Here, he is my family. I care."
It wasn't the first time he'd said it out loud, but it was the first time he'd said it out loud to her. To someone who didn't know, who hadn't figured it out. If that was something she would even understand. It didn't matter, he wasn't making any sweeping declarations.
