[Darin leans back, propping himself up with his hands.]

Would you believe I had no idea until recently?

[He lifts his chin and cranes his head back, looking up at the sky.]

When I was a kid, I had...some pretty big dreams. Dreams that didn't make a lot of sense. I know I wanted to be something but...what I wanted to be wasn't really...realistic. It was abstract. A concept.

I went thought my life believing it impossible. I'd never be what I really wanted to be. I didn't even know if I'd even come close but then...

...Someone came along. And she saw right through everything. Right to the core of who I am. She saw me for the me I wanted to be.

[Darin lowers his gaze to Beat and grins.]

People are pretty terrible at looking inside ourselves. I mean, you can't exactly turn your eyeballs to look inside your head, right? So...we gotta rely on people we trust to see inside of us the things we can't see ourselves.

[With that, he winks.]

Try as we might to hide it, there's a part of who we really are that shines through in all of our actions. Even if it's just a sliver, if it hits the light just right? Someone will see it.

It's there, Beat. Just needs the right light.
