“I can’t believe we just ditched Mack and your mom like that,” Ricky says with a laugh as he leans back against the vinyl booth.
Gina shrugs her shoulders, “honestly, my mom’s probably having a blast interrogating him about his success, and it seems like Mack was in need of a maternal figure in his life so he can happily borrow mine for the time being…”
Or, Ricky and Gina have a much needed conversation post their kiss in the rain.

Summary
Ricky guided her hand to where his racing heart thudded beneath the fabric of his pajamas. Pupils dilatated and almost watery eyes whilst gazing at the owner of his heart. Maybe she could tell, she had to-
“Your heart’s racing,” Gina remarked, her gaze shifting from his hand to meet his eyes with a mixture of amusement and understanding. “Don't tell me you're scared, Bowen.” She teased playfully, her words a gentle reassurance as she leaned in to press a tender kiss against his cheek.

Summary
“Sorry, there are just some things that I tell you that I don’t really tell anyone else..”
Gina was nervously fiddling with her hands, but she never stopped gazing into Ricky’s soft eyes. She could feel the familiar tension rising. It’s almost like a magnetic pull between them.
“Yeah, no I- I think we do that for each other.” Ricky wants to step forward and calm down her nerves, but he stays watching her. He could've said so much more, but it almost feels inappropriate. Sometimes it's hard to say how you truly feel.

Summary
She blinks a few times and shakes her head to try to wake herself up. She removes the blanket from her lap and lazily stands up from the couch, making her way to the front door while dragging her feet. She turns on the hallway and porch light before opening the door, and suddenly she is no longer tired by the sheer surprise of who it is at her porch.
"Ricky?" she pauses. "What are you doing here so late?"

Summary
Gina didn’t say anything, just watched as Ricky took a moment to collect his thoughts, his Adam’s apple bobbing in his throat and heat creeping up from his neck to his face. “Yeah, I guess I never told you about this, huh?”
“About what, Ricky?” Gina pushed, wanting to hear the truth from him, because if she had been right that entire time – that Ricky really was the one to buy her those chocolates – Gina thought she might melt on the spot. From embarrassment or from giddiness, Gina had yet to decide.
“So, I kind of lied when I said I wasn’t the one who got you those chocolates on Valentine’s Day,” Ricky rushed out the words, wincing as he said them.

Summary
"Gina, to his surprise, looks up at him, for just a second, her lips parted, before turning back to Red. Ricky’s breath is completely gone. “He’s not my boyfriend,” she says finally, with the sureness of someone who knows something to be fact. It’s Carlos who redirects the room to more pressing conversation, everyone moving on from the question of him and Gina in the air. But Ricky can’t help but replay Red and Gina’s words in his head. Can’t help but think his own: And what if I was?"
Prequel to the folklore rina series - entirely from Ricky's POV. Spanning from Ricky's junior year to the summer before Gina leaves Salt Lake for good.

Summary
Gina smiled sadly and shook her head. “I don’t think we can be best friends again, Ricky.”
“Is it because of EJ?” Ricky asked, surprising himself with how bitter he sounded.
Gina sighed, wrestling with her words. Why did this feel like Opening Night all over again? “It’s because best friends don’t look at each other the way I looked at you,” Gina admitted, taking a chance and holding his gaze as confidently as she could.
