Meg took a bite from the waffle and frowned. “Did you put chocolate in it?” she asked, looking up at Cas.
“Yeah, Anna told me you liked it as a human and since you’re human again…” Cas explained. “I wanted to do something nice for you”
“Hmm” Meg said, taking another bite from her waffle. “Seems to me that you’re trying to make up for something”
Cas bit his lip and sat down. He took Meg’s hand. “Yeah, I’ve been…quite a jerk to you yesterday. But…the pain…it was really bad” he tried to explain.
Meg pulled her hand away. “Yeah, I get it” she answered a little shrill. “You couldn’t think straight”
“Exactly”
“We still need to know what caused that pain, in case it comes back” Meg said.
“I don’t think it will come back” Cas commented, suddenly becoming tensed and he stood. “And even if it did I can still ask Heather to help me again”
“Heather? What happened to ‘a complete stranger’?” Meg asked slowly and suspicious. Cas pulled his shoulders.
“Is it so bad for me to call her by her first name?” he wanted to know.
“You don’t know her” Meg reasoned. “And she’s a hooker”
“Last time I checked, so are you” Cas fired back. “But here I am, making you chocolate waffles”
Meg stood too and placed her hands on the table.
“Okay, say you need another dose of her medicine. What if she wants to sleep with you again?” she asked, making it sound like that would be the worst thing in the world that could happen.
“Then I guess I will” Cas replied careless. “You let guys screw you for money. And I’ll let Heather screw me for my life”
“What did she give you? What was the medicine?” Meg demanded to know.
“I have no idea” Cas smiled. “But whatever it was, it’s good stuff”
