Fast Forward
Coach Winfield is the widower of one of the girls Betsy. After Demon finds Betsy, she identifies Coach as someone who might help raise Demon and arranges for Demon to live with Coach and Coach’s daughter, Angus. Coach is a hands-off parent to both Demon and Angus, but he also cares deeply about them both. He lives, eats, and breathes football and (correctly) identifies Demon as a potential star tight-end, which Demon loves. Coach struggles with alcoholism, though, and his own difficulties with addiction might account for his failure to provide adequate care to Demon when he is injured during a game. Dr. Watts later prescribes Demon a regiment of opioids that ultimately causes Demon to have his own issues with addiction.

She said it was hydrocodone and something. Not oxy then, I said, and she said it was really no better than that. I was struggling for words and possibly catching the asshole bug from Coach because I asked her whatever happened to Kent’s “pain is a vital sign” and all that.
She hissed at me: “Kent Holt is a fucking hired killer for his company.”
