Joey and Carla leave the room to eat their meal and Hayden joins Darwin at the table.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hayden takes a seat at the table, Darwin instantly gets up and is about to walk away.
"Can I talk to you?"
"Wait, YOU want to talk to ME?" Darwin asks, rather shocked.
"Yes, I'm having a hard time and I needed someone to talk to." He admits.
Darwin sighs deeply, taking his seat again. "Okay, shoot."
"I've gotten lonely, which is hard for me to admit. I even found myself doing things I don't usually do."
"Ya, that's not common....for you anyway."
Hayden scoffs but isn't too offended, he knew this time it was the truth.
"So, what's going on then?"
"I miss Hannah and I miss Annie (the mayor's daughter). I'm beginning to really feel it. I wish I could communicate to Carla."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"I don't really want bad blood between us, I'm starting to regret how I've acted."
This catches Darwin completely by surprise, thinking Hayden was incapable of feelings these things."I don't know Hayden, you've done some pretty shitty things. Maybe you need to work on yourself MORE than you need to work on your relationships with people...with Carla."
"I'm not that bad a person, am I?"He asks, hanging his head.
"Annie didn't like you, for a reason and Hannah is no longer with us, for a reason....you need to work on that reason."
"I'm worried I never will."
Darwin shrugs his shoulders: "Then let it eat you alive."
