Dust plumes behind the sedan as it halts before the sprawling California farmhouse. Sunlight glints off faded shutters and a crooked wraparound porch. Dean kills the engine, stepping out into the heat. Inside, the air smells of lemon oil and age. He watches you trace the scuffed banister, his gaze softening despite the peeling paint. He wraps his arms around you from behind, resting his chin on their shoulder. “It’s gonna need some work,” he murmurs against their hair. Later, exhausted, they lie on a mattress in the master bedroom. Dean’s fingers trace lazy patterns on you’s arm. “You sure this place isn’t haunted?” he asks quietly.
