One.. by... one.

Can it be.. undone?

Jaden and Darrel nodded.

"You got it." they responded, before leaving.

"You think she'll keep in contact?" Darrel asked Jaden.

"No idea, to be honest." Jaden admitted.

Sure enough, she did. And it turned out that Abby and Darrel were big online friends. They kept in regular contact for some time after that, and he often looked forward to seeing her messages.

He then woke up in the morning from a good night's sleep, and checked his computer, seeing he had a new message.

"Oh, from Abby." he smiled, opening up the conversation window.

Hey! Look, long story short, I'mma be stuck downtown for a few hours later today. I was wondering if you wante do meet up for some grub or something. My treat! It was a simple message, and even without her saying it, if Darrel couldn't or didn'ty want to, he knew she'd be cool with that. She was merely offering the invite.

Darrel raised an eyebrow when he read that, before shrugging.

Sure thing! he sent back.

Where and when? he asked her, sending it, and then pausing.

By that, I mean where do you want to meet up, if it's different from where you want to eat. he then sent in a clarification.

With that, he paused for a moment, waiting for her to respond, seeing as he noticed her status was 'online'.

"Suppose I ought to grab a shower before I meet up." he mumbled, making a small timeline in his mind.

How about in a couple hours? Around 6? Abby asked in response.

That way I got time to do what I need to for not, and then we can grab a bite to eat before I do the last of what I need to do tonight. She added after a few seconds.

If that works, anyway. If not, we can go earlier.

"...................." Darrel was silent for a moment, unsure as to how to respond to that.

Yeah... sure, that works. he sent.

"I'll... call her later." he then told himself.

"Time's fine, but... still don't know where..." he muttered.

"Maybe she's coming here or something." he added with a shrug.

Anything else before I get offline to get stuff done? he then sent.

And since you asked where. I have no idea. she then sent.

Seriously. It depends on what you want. I'm downtown. Think on it and we'll iron that out more later. Followed a few seconds later.

I gotta go. I've got a thing I gotta get to. Call me around 5. I should be done this by then.

"....that explains it." Darrel muttered.

Sure thing. he replied, before getting offline.

He then stepped away from his computer, and poked his head out of his bedroom.

"...Mom!?" he called out.

"You home!?" he asked.

He figured he needed to at least tell ONE of his parents where he'd be going. They'd raised him to do so, after all.

'It's pretty early, odds are she is.' he thought, stepping out fully into the hallway.

He didn't get an answer, but that wasn't anything too surprising. He made his way to where she usually was, finding her sitting by the bay window and reading a book, not that he could tell what it was. It was almost... odd... considering what he knew she was. The fact that she was bathed in the sunlight like that.

It seemed almost surreal.

"Hey Mom?" He asked, but it didn't et a response. Not surprising, he could see her headset off to the side. She couldn't hear him. After he'd approached and tapped her on the shoulder, she met his gaze.

"What's up?" She asked as she reached for the headset and slid it on.

"Abby contacted me." he said.

"Said she wants to meet up later, grab food." he told her.

"Don't got anything going on today, so I said I would." he went on.

"Just figured you should know." he reasoned.

"...also, still weird to see you sitting in the sunlight like that." he then said further, on another topic.

"You know... considering... what we're a family of and all..."

"Well, we don't burn in the sun or anything. Our skin is just far more sensitive to it than your average persons." Desiree commented.

"And sure. Just let me know when you're heading out, hey?" She asked.

"Beyond that, do what you wish. You're seventeen, you don't need me hovering over you anymore." She added with a light laugh.

Darrel just sighed.

"I know." he replied.

"But I suppose what you taught me of letting you know where I am and what I'm doing has stuck." he told her with a small smirk.

"Also, yeah, good point about the sun thing." he then admitted.

"....wait, so do you have sunscreen on or something?" he asked.

"Because you're RIGHT in that sunbeam. Like you're Kitt or something." he chuckled.

Desiree just laughed before tapping the glass.

"Protected by the glass." She stated simply.

"Jaden and I made sure that all the windows in this place were swapped out with ones that filter the sunlight, so as to ensure that we don't burn - and so that you don't eitehr." She told him.

"And I do appreciate you letting me know. But I do realise that if I cvouldn't find you, you do have a mobile you never have not on you."

"Hm... ok, fair point." Darrel replied.

"And oh yeah, forgot about that window thing." he added.

"Regardless, I'll let you know when I'm headed out to meet Abby." he told her.

"....hey, Mom?" he then addressed her.

"Are... you glad that Abby's back in your life?"

Desiree was silent for a moment before smiling softly.

"I certainly have no complaints to it." She then said.

"Happy about it? I ... I'm not entirely sure, but... I think I might be." She then said.

"It is nice to meet the child I gave up, to know that she's all right, that she's managed to make it this far in life so far."

Darrel nodded.

"Yeah..." he said.

"She's done a lot with her life." he went on.

"She's really made something of herself." he continued.

"You must be really proud of her, too." he went on, pausing for a moment, and sighing.

"Anyway, I need to shower and stuff, so I should go and do so." he then told Desiree.

'I am, yes, but I'm proud of what you've managed to achieve and do in your life too." Desiree commented honestly.

"If anything, you're more important to me than she is anyway." She then said with a light sigh.

"I don't really know her, she's never really be a factor in my life, you have. There's just a much stronger emotional connection between you and I. Don't let her get you down, all right?"

Darrel bit his lip a little, and sighed.

"I suppose I'm not very subtle about it." he said with a light chuckle.

"But... thanks." he said further.

"I guess... well... I don't know, actually." he muttered.

"I just hope I can do something with my life, too." he told her.

"Abby had a rough start, and she's doing so well for herself." he went on. "So I want to do just as well as her, if not better." he added.

"But you're also quite a bit younger than she is." Desiree added.

"So you really don't have a reason or a hurry." She then said.

"Anyway, go have a shower, make yourself presentable for your date." She then said with a smirk.

Darrel froze for a moment, and he almost looked sick.

"Mom!" he exclaimed.

"She's my sister!" he said, before pausing.

"...that... felt odd to say..." he admitted quietly, before shaking his head.

"Regardless, ew!" he insisted.

"Besides, you KNOW Sammy and me are a thing." he then added.

"So... yeah!" he finished, in a bit of a huff now.

"Doesn't mean it's not a date!" Desiree replied with.

"Seriously. It can totally be a platonic date, but it's still a date of some sort." She added.

"Or do you disagree with me on that?"
