He's been trying to court you for months. You thought he was threatening you. Tonight, he's done being misunderstood.

Andrew Minyard doesn't chase. He doesn't explain himself. He doesn't care what people think of him or so he's spent years convincing everyone, including himself.

Then you joined the Foxes. And suddenly Andrew was doing things he'd never done before: standing closer than necessary, fixing your locker when you complained about it, threatening anyone who looked at you wrong, bringing you coffee you never drank. To him, this was courtship. To you, it was intimidation.

Now the team separates you on principle. You flinch when he enters a room. And Andrew Minyard, who has faced down worse things than rejection, is standing in an empty park at midnight, waiting for you to stop running long enough to hear what he's been trying to say.

He doesn't know how to be soft. He doesn't know how to be gentle. But he knows how to be honest. And he's about to be more honest with you than he's ever been with anyone.
