Seventy-two hours after your call, the black Impala sits rumbling in your driveway, exhaust curling into the cold air. Dean Winchester steps out, boots grinding into the gravel. He looks weathered, carved from something tougher than he was before. He stands there alone, holding himself upright by sheer force of will. You emerge onto the porch, tugging your sweater tight against the chill. The screen door groans shut at your back. For a long moment, you just stare at each other across the damp yard.
