Darrin had just finished his cigarette when he heard someone exiting the house, making their way towards him. He did not move, however, remaining relaxed and eyes closed. He had been expecting his mother and yet, when the voice sounded..it wasn't his mother. "Long time no see, stranger." He knew that voice. It was one that he'd not heard in such a very long time. So long, that he'd nearly forgotten it. He immediately opened his eyes, slowly sitting up. He turned his gaze to Grace, taking her in.

She was not smiling, something that he noted. However, he had no idea to as the reasoning behind it. He said nothing, content with simply eyeing her. "You know, your mother worked awful hard on cooking this, and I'm sure she would be delighted if you would at least try it." She said, trying to tempt him with the plate of food.

He suddenly wasn't looking at her, but at the pool. Almost studying it. Moments later, he could feel her gaze on him. "Its your choice of course, I just figure why not take a bite and if you really don't want it set it aside." Grace continued. Why was she so determined to get him to eat? Honestly, he had no appetite. Not that he'd had one in some time.

Darrin had no idea why his childhood friend had suddenly showed up. He was afraid that his mother had something to do with it. When they'd been in school together, he'd not had many friends yet she'd been there for him. One of the only ones that had known everything about him and had still cared for him.

The woman sat the plate down finally, no doubt hoping that he would decide to eat on his own. Her soft sigh caused him to turn his gaze back to her once again. "I met your children, they seem to be great kids...." She said, breaking the silence once again. Grace was the first person that he'd actually been around besides his family since he'd left the band. He didn't quite know how to act...how to feel.

Darrin tore his gaze from Grace, looking down. "I suppose that that would be because of Mom." He said suddenly. Darrin hadn't even planned on answering her. He had no idea why he had. He looked back up to her, slight confusion suddenly gracing his features. "Grace, what are you doing here?" It had been a long time since he'd spoken to her..seen her. Yet, he'd never referred to her by anything save for 'Gracie'. Something that he was sure the woman would note the change.

He didn't care. There was no need for her to think that he was in any sort of mood other than that which he was wearing on his sleeve. He sighed, suddenly picking up a piece of toast that was on the plate that the woman had brought out for him. He took a very small bite, trying to stomach the bite. He couldn't even remember the late time that he'd ate. He would not have thought anything of it if his mother hadn't kept on him about it.

Judith was watching the pair from one of the windows, making sure that they could not see her. She was happy that Darrin seemed to at least be tolerating the woman. She could only hope that it would continue. She knew that they'd been very close when they'd been younger. She'd asked Grace to come in the hopes that she could get through to Darrin. However, she honestly had no idea if there was any hope for him. He seemed so far gone now. Nowhere near the man he'd been before all of this mess.

It saddened her to think about. "Nana, can we go swimming?" Nichola suddenly asked, tearing the older woman's attention. "No sweetie. Perhaps later? I'm sure that you could talk Grace into taking you out." The little girl pouted before returning to watching the television. She didn't want to disturbed Darrin and Grace. At least while they seemed to be getting along.
