Richard called to let Andrew know that he was going to spend most of the night out with Ellis, and Andrew felt a bit like a parent getting a phone call to ask permission for his teen to go out. Andrew knew that wasn't the case, but it made his heart warm that Richard was letting him know what was going on.
Richard had even sounded shy as he let Andrew know, and given everything that had happened that day, it was clear that the man was worried about taking away from what had happened to Andrew, for Andrew, that day. Andrew thought he was being ridiculous. There was no way that Andrew was going to care about that.
Andrew was just happy to be included in Richard's life planning after they had that moment before. It also appeared that Richard had taken his advice. Maxwell, separately called Andrew and let him know that Ellis was over the moon. Just simply ecstatic that he was going out with Richard.
