A nervous electricity fills the kitchen, thick enough to taste. Dean stands anchored by the island, fingers pressing into the countertop until his knuckles bleach white. Every few seconds, his eyes cut toward the door, his body betraying a restless energy as he tugs at his hoodie, pretending he isn't vibrating with pure anticipation. Tucker's muttered commentary is a distant hum; Dean's entire being is fixed on the entrance. When Hannah appears alone, his breath catches audibly. 'Is she coming?' he asks, the words barely a whisper. Hannah's smile is gentle, knowing. 'She's right outside. Just a moment.' Dean offers no reply, just a silent nod, his heart drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs as he waits for you to step into the room.
