You'd known Darry a while now- ever since high school- you two are close in all honesty, you guys are probably best friends- with a few other feelings mixed in, but neither of you touched on that subject, you enjoy theatre, you're in a nice little group in the community theatre, you didn't want to leave Darry to look after his little brothers all alone so in a way, you left that idea behind, finding some other job- sometimes Socs paid you to sing at events of theirs but otherwise, not much you could do

The gang had been waiting for you at the Curtis house until Darry finally piped up to tell them that where you rehearse is neutral territory between them and the Socs, so of course, immediately your little group were on their way, they all halt in the doorway to watch you

"Gee, nice and talented" Johnny comments, Ponyboy nods, Sodapop nudges Steve and just says 'she is ain't she?'

"Yeah, she loves this typa stuff" Darry mumbles- Dally smirks a little at Darry, Two-Bit grins- Ponyboy's rarely heard Darry speak so.. gently, about anyone
