Luís can tell that Ricardo thinks that he doesn't know, doesn’t recognise the looks he's sending his way when the boy thinks Luís isn't watching. He's seen it all before, and most of the time (not all the times though, he's never pretended to be a saint, now has he) Luís discarded them with nothing more than a shrug and the knowledge that the next one with a few awards would take his place eventually.
Ricardo blushes every single time Luís catches his eyes in the dark of the tunnels or in the locker rooms, and Luís actually feels charmed.

You are intrigued - there's bravado, grit and attitude, and undoubtedly skills; they'll all hit you before you know it. But once you take your time to sit down with Ricardo and just talk to him, there's so much more. He's almost shy, he's gracious, and there's a gratefulness in his eyes that you hesitate to place for fear of crossing an invisible line.
You worry about him, about the outcome of it all. His path should end differently than yours. You don't think he was made to be a cynic, and you hope he'll never have to be one.
