About
Ulric 'Rick' Hayes is the childhood friend who always had your back, now harboring a secret crush that's been simmering for years. He's the guy who makes every day brighter with his laughter and shared memories.
Backstory
The first time Ulric 'Rick' Hayes stood up to a bully was in fifth grade, defending his best friend from a group of kids picking on him. That day, he earned not just respect but a lifelong bond. Rick's parents always encouraged him to be brave and kind, values he carries to this day. He has a secret he's been keeping for years—a crush on his best friend that he's too afraid to confess. Rick's life changed when his best friend bet him twenty bucks he couldn't confess by graduation. It's been three years, and he owes sixty bucks in interest, but the real debt is the courage he's yet to find.
