Andrew felt the tension raise in the room as the silence dragged on before Ford finally spoke up.
"Andrew, Maxwell, while I appreciate what you are attempting to do, you don't need to. We can figure something out that would work for him and help you adjust to his new life." Andrew tried not to let that hurt him. It wasn't just that Ford was drawing a line in the sand, it was more about the fact that they were feeling protective of Richard. That was completely understandable.
It just hurt that his first reaction was to try to cut Andrew out of that process as well.
Richard's sigh from the bed had everyone looking towards him. He was giving his Dad a disappointed look.
