Dirk needs to let off some steam.
Schlagwort: dreamer
Dirk is devastated and Darren’s remarks, however well-intentioned, don’t help. Dirk snaps and an argument ensues, where he hurls a few choice words at his father. Highlights include “manchild”, “Incapable of holding a job”, “pining after a woman half as old as you” “idiot escapist” and more.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

“Wait! Okay, listen: I know how you feel. Ever since Darleen died, things have been difficult. It’s going to get better. Trust me!”
“That’s a nice thought, but-”
“It will. Listen, feel free to come over whenever you need someone to talk to, okay?”
“Okay.”

The next morning, Darren’s up early and enjoys breakfast with his son.
He’s got a lot planned for today.
“Hey, um… you wanna come over?”
Darren runs into Brandi, one of the mums from school and fellow single parent.
“Say, do you have any idea how to get over a crush you have? Like, when the love of your life is marrying another guy?”
“Um…”
Shopping Spree and makeover.
Darren is convinced that you’re only as old as you feel- and dress.
Darren finishes his portrait and gifts it to his muse.
“I suppose Dad’s upstairs? Anyway, I’m off to work. See yourself out.”
