Althea's hand was soon resting upon his head. Darrin had gone quiet as they sat together. A few moments passed before Darrin heard Althea sigh, moving so that her head was resting upon his own. He was quite sure how she was able to do it..but Althea always seemed to make him feel better. "It might be good for you. You know... you could always just give it a shot and see if things will work out. If they don't, you can just stop after the tour. It's just a thought, though." Althea was stroking his hair a bit and Darrin allowed his eyes to close at the feeling.

It was only as she stopped that Darrin opened his eyes again, focusing upon Althea. "Besides, you can't knock it until you try it." He smiled at her as she laughed, nudging him playfully. "You realize that I've been on tour before? I would hope that I would know how it is by now. It's..just a lot to commit to. I don't want to agree to something like that, get out there, and then find myself having to force my performances."

He paused, his gaze shifting to his hands. Darrin was being painfully honest with Althea. He'd not even told the guys what he'd just told her. "I mean, I wouldn't want to give performances that I wasn't proud of. Our fans deserve more than that. I know that I wouldn't want to go and see a band whose heart wasn't in what they were doing."

Darrin smiled suddenly, his eyes on Althea. "It also doesn't help that everyone's eyes are on you at all times. Why do you think that I moved into this house? This is one of the few places where I'm not hounded every time that I step out of the house. Besides, I'd miss you too much to leave."

Darrin had gotten up early Monday morning. The weekend had seemed to pass by all too quickly for his tastes. He'd spent time with Althea, neither one of them having mentioned what had happened between them. Kris had continued to text him, insisting that they needed to talk. However, Darrin continued to ignore him. Darrin had fixed breakfast for everyone that morning and soon enough they were eating together. Once the meal was over, Darrin had excused himself from them, making his way back up to his room.

After Darrin had gone upstairs, Judith began cleaning up. She was happy that Darrin was doing better. Getting off of the pills had done wonders for him and she had Althea to thank for her son's turn around. As she was cleaning up, a knock sounded on the door. "Althea, could you get that for me?" She asked, her hands full. The knock sounded again.

When the door was opened, Kris smiled at the woman. "Hi. Umm..this is Darrin's house, yea?" He asked. He remained silent for a few moments, allowing the woman to speak before he continued. "Mrs. R!" He said as Judith came into view. "Hello dear! I wasn't expecting you! How have you been?"

Kris was invited in and he brought with him a bag which indicated that he was planning on staying with them. He spoke happily with Judith for a few minutes before he turned his gaze to Althea. "So, where's Darrin? I need to talk to him and decided that it was probably better if I did so in person since he's ignoring me again."
