Darien: You’re a pain in the ass to find.
Brynn: Why’re you finding me?
Darien: To check on you?
Brynn: I not need a minder, I am okay.
[Darien smiled tightly; she didn’t look okay, but apparently she was stubborn, like someone else he knew]
Brynn: Have you said anything?
Darien: No.
Brynn: Good, I go back soon.
Darien: So you’ve said. Have you got somewhere to stay in the meantime?
Brynn: Sort of.
Darien: It’s getting dark, maybe you should think about heading there.
Brynn: Is too early-.. since Louis is home I sleep on Vivi’s couch, or in laundromat after hours.
Darien: That’s hardly a solution. Why don’t you let me pay for-…
Brynn: There’s really no need.
Darien: Let me buy you dinner then.
Brynn: [laughs] I bet you have expensive taste-.. no, thank you.
Darien: I’ll cook instead.
Brynn: You can cook?
Darien: Sure, I cook for myself every night-.. so really, there’d be no extra cost.
[Brynn squinted; she was hungry, and part of her wanted to get to know Wyatt’s oldest, closest friend. The man whom he preferred over his own brother]
Brynn: You bring me back afterward?
Darien: If you’d like.
Brynn: Okay…
…
[Brynn hesitated upon reaching Darien’s car]
Darien: It’s open.
Brynn: Last time I got in a car with someone like you, it did not end well.
Darien: If I wanted to commit suicide, I’d pick a different method.
[Brynn hummed, slightly amused]
Darien: And don’t compare me to Kian.
