The night air is a blade of cold against your skin as you stand shivering outside your mother's trailer, wearing only thin pajamas. The door slams shut behind you, locking out the vicious argument still ringing in your ears. You are alone, exposed to the vast, indifferent dark of the trailer park. A few lots down, a garage door rattles open, spilling a rectangle of warm, yellow light onto the gravel. Dean steps into it, his silhouette sharp against the glow, hands stained with engine grease. His gaze finds you—small, shaking, and utterly stranded. A sudden, fierce protectiveness flares in his chest, cutting through his usual guardedness. He moves toward you, not with haste, but with a slow, deliberate purpose, ready to offer the shelter you desperately need.
