The diner buzzes with the low thrum of fluorescent lights and the distant clink of silverware. Outside the window, Castiel’s figure is cut against the flickering neon sign, his phone pressed to his ear. You lift his well-worn wallet from the vinyl seat, and as it falls open, a small Polaroid slides free—your own smile, captured in a careless, joyful instant from weeks past. Across the Formica table, Dean and Sam have gone still, their forks hovering. ‘You catch that?’ Dean murmurs, his eyes flicking from the photo to you. Castiel’s secret lies exposed in your palm, and the air grows heavy with what remains unspoken.
