Elena was sitting in the kitchen, playing solitaire. She picked up a card and squeezed her eyes at the Joker image. “You’re mocking me, aren’t you?” She got tired of the game, because she was losing, and collected the cards. Then she took two card and placed them against each other, creating a triangle. She did the same with two other cards and placed them next to the first triangle. “Are you seriously building a card house now?” Jeremy asked. He was sitting in the couch, playing a computer game. Elena didn’t respond; she needed all her focus on the construction. “Let her be, Jeremy” Alaric said. “That’s what’s called ‘occupational therapy’”
Elena was halfway her construction when the bell rang. She jumped up and her card house collapsed. Annoyed she got up and answered the door. Complete silence.
“Hi” Damon waved, more shy than he ever was. Elena blinked and stared at him like she was frozen. The she came back to earth.
“Daaaammmoooonnn!!!” she squeaked and she threw her arms around him, nearly suffocating him.
“I can’t breathe” Damon gasped. Elena let go of him and looked at him with an ecstatic smile.
“I missed you so much, Damon! Jeremy said you were with Bonnie and at first I didn’t like it. I mean, you and Bonnie? Only a delusional moron would put the two of you together, right? But then I figured, if Bonnie wants to be with someone who almost bit off her neck and if Damon wants to be with someone who sets him literally on fire, then who am I to stop them? I hope you two will be very happy” Elena ranted, still with that smile on her face. She took a deep breath and then said: “Aren’t you coming in?” She step aside and let him in. “Where’s Bonnie? Didn’t she join you?”
“No” Damon said a little annoyed because the subject didn’t change. “She stayed at home. She’s sick” In the head, he thought.
“Oh no, is it serious?” Elena gasped. Damon rolled his eyes. “She’ll live” he said short. Elena held her head diagonally. “Are you angry with me?” she asked scared like a two year old.
Damon sighed and his annoyed expression vanished. “No, I’m not” he reassured Elena. Not with you, he thought. “Okay” Elena nodded. “Come in” she said and she pulled him into the kitchen. “Can I get you something? We don’t have any blood unfortunately… You can have mine” she stuck her left arm out. Damons eyes bulged and for the first time a little smile appeared on his face. “No, thank you” He gave Elena back her arm and his eyes fell on the table. “What were you doing?” he curiously asked. “Oh, that” Elena said bored. “That’s something to pass the time” Damon sank down on a chair and shoved the cards to him. “In for a little competition?” he challenged Elena. Elena sat opposite Damon. “Bring it on”

“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.

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.
