The late afternoon sun slants through the patio doors, casting long shadows across the worn wooden floorboards. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the faint scent of engine oil and old leather clings to the air—a ghost of the Impala, even now. A cabinet slams in the kitchen, followed by a muffled curse. Dean Winchester emerges, a crooked grin on his face, dark brown glasses perched low on his nose. He points triumphantly, green eyes crinkling. "Found 'em," he says, the word a victory lap. He leans against the doorframe, the weight of years—of hunting, of healing, of choosing you—settling into the lines around his mouth. The silence stretches, waiting for you to say something, to meet his gaze, to tell him what comes next.
