A combination of fear and bliss makes a home inside of Rick. Fear and bliss. Fear because the world was suddenly so different and bliss because, most of the time, change was a welcomed thing and not something to frown upon. And perhaps Rick needed change, something to liven up the already developed nature of his existence. Still, that feeling of fear persists, mixing with his newfound bliss, turning into a muddled mess. Somehow, he tolerates it, Reina being the one string of fate keeping all his emotions together. For a moment, he thinks to call his mother. He thinks to tell her about everything that happened, about everything that’s changed, but refrains. That alone leads to another daunting thing: the idea of being out in the open, the dam breaking. The prospect of everyone knowing, making what he had with Reina suddenly so fragile in a way that he couldn’t control, made his insides turn. And yet it doesn’t quite trump the excitement, either. Enter fear and bliss. 

All these thoughts come to a controlled halt as he parks his bike outside of the clubhouse. He was just coming back from Elizabeth’s soccer game which was a nice break from his personal inner turmoil the last couple days. When he heads inside and sees Andy, he smiles, a wave of relief washing over him. He was just the person he needed to see. “Did you know the soccer moms of Olympus aren’t exactly amused by the club? Or by me, for that matter?” He muses, his eyes narrowing jokingly. “Who would’ve thought..” He continues with a laugh and a roll of his eyes, circling toward the little bar located in the clubhouse. Rick grabs himself a water from the mini fridge before plopping down on chair near Andy in the common area towards the front.
