Daphne was sleeping, while Zoey made some coffee for herself. She opened the cupboard to get the coffee, but when she opened it something fell out of it, hit her on her left eyebrow and landed on the kitchen floor.
“Damn it” Zoey muttered. She cowered and picked up the book. “Strange place to hide a book”
She walked to the kitchen table and put the book on it. Then she walked back to the cupboard and took out the coffee. She walked to the coffee machine and put the coffee in the filter.
While the water was running through she walked back to the table. She sat on a chair and opened the book.
“The Lake by Daphne Allen” Zoey read. She read everything. It told about the close bond between Martin and Daphne. It told about Martin’s accident, how Daphne was supposed to keep an eye on him, but she failed. She had fallen asleep while Martin was at the lake. When Zoey woke Daphne up Martin was already dead. After that Daphne went on a bender, until Zoey brought her to a rehab.
The last thing Daphne had written was: “I met a nice man today. He reminds me of Martin. I feel like God is giving me a second chance”
Zoey closed the book. She took a deep breath and let the air slowly escape.
“Jesus, Daphne” she whistled admiring.

“If I have to die, so will you” Zoey said.
“No one has to die, moron!” Dean yelled angry. “Put the fire out, open the door, do something!”
Zoey shook her head. “I can’t. Crowley will kill me, if I let you go”
“He’ll kill you either way” Dean snapped.
“Well, if Cas doesn’t love me I don’t care” Zoey exclaimed crying.
They heard a noise and looked aside. Cas opened his eyes and frowned.
“Dean?” he said hoarse.
“I’m here” Dean said, quickly walking to Cas. He helped Cas sit up and supported his back. He looked from Cas’ injuries to Zoey. “If you really love him, you’ll let him go”
Zoey shook her head.
Cas put his fingers in his blood and painted a sigil on the floor. He poked Dean and nodded weak at the bloody sign.
“What is it?” Zoey wanted to know.
But Dean put his hand on the sigil and he and Cas vanished in a blinding light.

Cas beached on the street, far away from Rufus’ cabin. He wasn’t sure how to feel. He was angry, because Dean wouldn’t listen to him. Dean always thought he knew everything better. He was disappointed, because Dean had no faith in him at all.
He was so up in thought that he didn’t hear his name. But maybe that was because she didn’t use his real name.
“Emmanuel!”
Someone grabbed his arm and forced him to turn around. He looked at the woman. She looked familiar.
“Didn’t you hear me?” the woman asked. Cas stared at her. “Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Daphne, your wife?”
Cas widened his eyes as he remembered her.
“Daphne” he said breathless. “How did you find me? What are you doing here?”
“Well, I hired a detective, I needed to find you” Daphne said. She searched in her pockets and conjured a big brown envelope. “I need you to sign these”
“What is it?” Cas frowned.
“A petition for annulment” Daphne answered.
