Wymack was one of the only men in Andrew’s life that he trusted. Like, this kid started off being abandoned by an indifferent mother that led to him being constantly sexually and physically abused by the subsequent males in his life. Male authority figures have failed him. Peers and relatives didn’t understand him.
And then he meets this hard-ass soft shell egg of a coach, who is male, that respect boundaries, follow throughs on promises and bets, and allows for otherwise frowned upon quirks and act outs just because he knew that this was a path not that had not been given choice but a recovery that was chosen.
Neil: I need you.
Andrew: For?
Neil: Ever.
Neil: Is there no way we can get rid of the Ravens?
Renee: Not without cause.
Neil: I have cause. It’s because I hate them.
sometimes Aaron’ll catch Andrew doing an action that Aaron knows he does himself–holding his cup with a pinky finger sticking out slightly, twirling his racquet twice forward and once back before squaring up to a challenge on court, pausing while writing to tap his pen against the opposite hand–and it’s takes years for him to see it as a comfort rather than a crawling under his skin
Nicky: Look at what you’ve done to my peonies!
Allison: They’re marigolds!
Erik: God, I think she’s right. They are marigolds.
Nicky: I may not know my flowers, but I know a bitch when I see one!
Neil: In loving memory of Andrew Minyard
Neil: He’s not dead I just love remembering him
