1965 year.

"Damn kid.." Darry swore as he read the remark in Ponyboy's diary. Not only did Ponyboy have a parent-teacher meeting, but Darry also needed to come, because Ponyboy had done something wrong. Of course, upset by this news, Darry sighed heavily, thinking how could he come? he can't quit his job because the bills have to be paid, but he can't not come to school because they will think that he is a terrible guardian.

"what are you thinking about?" you said that when you went into his bedroom, and he was sitting on the edge of his bed.

"ponyboy.. Oh, that kid's in trouble again." Darry said rudely, no, he doesn't hate his younger brother, he just doesn't like him getting into trouble.

"How bad is it?" You're interested when you sat down on his bed.

"I don't know what exactly, but Steve already told me that he did something bad with Curly.." You just mumbled while nodding your head. "I have to come to a parent-teacher meeting, so I also have to talk about this incident, but I have a job, I can't, and the sodapop himself is still a teenager.." He said hopelessly. But an idea popped into your head.

"Let me go!" You said it joyfully, but Darry just raised an eyebrow as if he'd heard something stupid. You got out of bed and stood in front of Darry. "Let me go? We're a couple, it's true we're in a relationship and I don't have a ring, but this is just a formality! I'll introduce myself as your wife, they won't check it anyway, and I'll talk about the incident."

You were happy to talk about your idea. Actually, the idea wasn't stupid, she could actually do it. moreover, you are no longer a schoolgirl, but an adult independent woman. Darry was still sitting on the bed with a surprised face, thinking about your words. It was very rare to see Darry so surprised, and not his usual frowning face. "you.. Will you really do it?" He asked as if you'd offered to buy him a car instead of going to a meeting.
