Summary
When Rick is 14 years old, he is confirmed John, as John the Baptist, and pressed lovingly under the water. It’s his first major lie, and the first sin he confesses in the box in the weeks after.
For months before, Rick reads diligently about St. Teresa of Avila and her suffering. He finds a book at the library with a 4 inch by 4 inch color photo of The Ecstasy and stares at it, blushing and illuminated by the overwhelming gold. He feels a tension, like he should be in trouble, but he isn't sure why. She is the patron Saint of writers and headache sufferers. Rick is a writer too. And when he’s an adult, he will suffer migraines so bad they put him in the ER.
When Rick is 20, Vyvyan Basterd hits him in the mouth with a 2x4 and as he’s falling to the ground, broken tooth rolling on his tongue, he remembers The Ecstasy of St. Teresa and part of him knows he was always right. He is not John. -

Summary
Stars. Silver, then pale.
White.
Searing pain somewhere in his abdomen. He’s been here before.In the summer of 1984, Rick's life- along with the bus he's on- explodes. Parents dead, failing grades, his home wrenched out from under him. He wakes up in the hospital, miraculously still alive, and does what he does best- he runs.
Roughly ten years later, his appendix explodes and he finds himself back in the exact same hospital.

Summary
“Vyvyan,” He says into the silence of the house, over his shoulder. A beautiful breeze pours into the kitchen from the garden. All of the overturned earth from weeding the day prior, the fertile smell of wet dirt. Herbs. And then, finally and almost imperceptibly, gasoline. Biting, metallic, toxic. Rick breathes as deeply as he can, his eyes close. “There you are.”
In which Rick handles his grief exceptionally well, and everything is fine.
Really mind those tags, jesus christ.

Summary
You want to be good only for someone who deserves it, and he doesn’t, but you can pretend.
It’s a wretched little ritual of theirs by now. It’s a thing they both pretend they’re done with, until they’re here, and the brick of the building is prickly against their backs even through their shirts, and they’ve done all of the playing nice that they can. They both need something.
It’s a broken thing, this game they play, but it’s the thing they choose again and again.Or, Rick just wants someone to tell him he's good. He's willing to work for it.
