IN THE LIVING room of Athena's house, an episode of Criminal Minds played on the TV while Athena and Ricky were cuddled up on the couch. Athena's head rested comfortably on Ricky's shoulders while his arm was wound tightly around her waist, his thumb absentmindedly rubbing against the fabric of her shirt. They had both just said goodbye to Nini with Violetta and EJ since she was going off to Denver, and it was a pretty emotional goodbye. Of course they were happy for her, it would just be weird going to school without Nini.
"Not gonna lie, I would let Spencer Reid arrest me any day," Athena admitted. "That man is so fine."
Ricky scoffed. "I'm literally right here."
"Just thought I'd let you know."
"Thanks for the valuable information. I'll keep it in mind."
Athena rolled her eyes playfully and hit his chest gently, making him laugh. "Shut up."
Ricky kissed her forehead. "You feeling any better?"
She sighed and moved closer to him. "A little. School without Nini is just going to take a little while to get used to. There's no doubt in my mind she would be the perfect Belle for the musical."
"Hey, so are you."
"I don't know, Ric." Athena reached up and began to drag the R charm on her necklace back and forth on the chain. "It's a huge role. Like, huge."
The front door opening was then heard. Athena lifted up her head to see her mother entering the house. Her mother shrugged off her coat and hung it up by the door before walking farther into the house.
"Hi, mom," Athena greeted, standing up from the couch, which made Ricky frown because he had to let go of her. "Where's dad?"
Amanda set her keys down on the counter. "Work's keeping him late. He should probably be home in about an hour." She smiled at the boy still sitting on the couch. "Hey, Ricky."
Ricky waved at her. "Hi, Amanda."
"Are you staying for dinner? I can set an extra place for you."
