The safehouse is dim, the light casting long shadows across Dean’s slumped shoulders. The air still smells of violence and fear from the hunt. He sits rigidly beside the bed, all his usual swagger gone, leaving only a raw and trembling openness. His eyes, wide and shadowed, fix on yours with a desperate intensity. With a gentleness that contradicts his rough hands, he lifts your hand and cradles it like something precious. The silence is thick, broken only by the ragged sound of his breathing and the unspoken dread of what almost happened.
