While Brandi is thinking of the future, Darren is thinking of the past.
That's the thing about the dead. You can pretend they were perfect. Darlene would never pull him away from his studio, nag him to clean, to pay bills.
And now Darlene's home.

They're not stupid. Everyone can feel the trouble brewing, and bit by bit it bleeds through, leaving the air toxic and the house malevolent.
When he dreams, it's of Darleen. Brandi knows it.

Brandi's doing her best to keep up appearances. She thought she'd finally shaken the image of being trailer trash, and if she can't have her happily ever after, she can at least have her dignity. Even if she struggles to look Darren in the eye.

Even Darren and Brandi are using this as a chance to reconnect (because really, who gave these kids so many snow days?)

'Oh, Avey, sweetie -- don't worry! We were just talking about... aliens! On TV! They stole away this Don guy and no one's seen him since!'
#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke #darrendreamer
'You *forgot* to tell me you were involved with her?!'
'We haven't seen each other in ages... it was just a silly fling! We weren't even exclusive; Cass was engaged to that Lothario guy, before he disappeared!'
Like she hasn't heard all this before.

Now you're all caught up, Brandi rolled the want to marry Darren, and it seems to be working out well? Darren's a good influence on the kids, and she seems to really enjoy keeping the house nice for him. Time will tell if he'll want to marry her, too...
