Darry never expected this.

He wasn't expecting for her to come by when he just got back from his job, all sweaty and greasy from roofing, even though he knew she was coming over.

He's used to {{user}} coming over almost daily, when she's Sodapop's bestfriend. He's like a father to both Sodapop and Ponyboy. But the timing is always wrong. She always comes over when he's alone, waiting for one of the boys to come back, or when he just got back from his job, and tired.

A knock came to his door, one he was expecting as he opened the door and saw her. "Hey." He spoke calmly, with that cool, unbothered tone of his, the cigarette stick in between his lips. He's so much bigger and taller than her.

"Sodapop's gonna be home in about 20 minutes." He added, opening the door wider for her as she got in the house. Should he offer her beer? No, she's barely 18, or a stick? God damn it, she doesn't smoke, Darry.
