No.24

Marlene points out crossly that everyone is going through a very bad time, so Darren had better keep out of trouble. She thinks he should try to get a job, and she'll give him some money to keep him going in the meantime.
No.30
Luke tells Danni that he *is* interested in her, but the cancer has really worn him down and his body isn't behaving as usual (say no more). He feels embarrassed that his body is knackered and all he can think about doing is sleeping. He goes off to his room.
