Nina Moves In

When Darren heard that Nina had moved into Kaylynn's house, he had to stop by and see for himself. He was completely surprised to see that Nina was pregnant. He couldn't help but laugh. "How could she have been so stupid! Didn't she know Don by now?" He was immediately sorry that he had laughed. He did not think the situation was funny at all. In fact, he was as angry as he'd ever been at Don. Another child...more irresponsibility. Didn't Don care what he was doing to these young peoples lives? Nina saw Darren laugh and burned with anger. How dare he laugh at her. She knew she looked fat and ugly...but he was being rude to remind her of that fact!
Darren turned away from Nina. Memories of Kaylynn suddenly swept over him. His Kaylynn had died right here in this house. And now, here was Nina...another victim of Don Lotherio. Admittedly, Nina and Don deserved each other...but what about Cassandra? Darren had loved her once and she certainly didn't deserve this from her husband. He felt sad and sickened by the whole situation.
"Who do you think you are , coming over here like this? I didn't invite you over. It's none of your business what Don and I do, is it? Now get out! And I wouldn't be talking about this to Cassandra if I were you. You will regret it!" Cassandra yelled loudly at Darren. Darren had never been as angry as he was at this moment. Because of Don, Kaylynn had suffered the shame and responsibility of being a single mother. And now he was repeating his shameful behavior with yet another woman. And Don was cheating on his wife, Cassandra. Darren felt very sorry for Cassandra. She would surely be hurt repeatedly by this man. The only positive thing Don had ever done was to father Donald. Darren left as Nina slammed the door shut behind him.
Nina then went out and harvested the oranges off the trees. Kaylynn's grave silently rested beneath the shade of the tree. Nina didn't even notice it was there.
