the trickster

He’s a man in love and he’s obsessed, hopelessly and irreparably obsessed with this woman who had been washed up on his bleak and lonely shore when this world was about to crush him once and for all. And she used to irritate him at first, she used to goad and fascinate him with her sullen reticence and her genuine antipathy towards him and his people.And now they’re here – because of course he fell for her, because, paradoxically, she fell for him of all people – and there’s a part of him that’s still convinced that he did a number on her, that he tricked her when he returned from a disastrous run and told her to have her mints in his pathetic attempt to show appreciation for all the things she did for him and his kids when she had every reason to turn her back on him....Or: A lovestruck Rick enjoys breakfast with his family. Cue sappy introspection.[RE-UPLOAD]
