Daphne put the key into the lock and opened the door of her house. She entered and Cas followed her inside. Zoey had come by at the hospital with some clothes, on Daphne’s request.
Daphne entered the kitchen and wasn’t surprised to see her sister sitting there.
“Hi” Zoey said, looking up from her laptop. “I see you brought Mister I don’t have a name home”
Daphne gave her sister a ‘cut it off’ look. “Zoey’s staying here for a few days” she explained to Cas. “She and Gerard are divorced and Alexia, my adorable niece, is staying with her father for the time being. Zoey doesn’t like being alone, so she keeps me company”
Cas nodded, not sure what to do or say.
“Hey, can you move? I need to do something” Daphne said to Zoey.
“Sure, it’s your house” Zoey said and she got up. Daphne sat down and pulled another chair next to her. She waved at Cas. “Come sit”
Cas walked towards her and sat down. He looked like he had been sentenced to death.
“Could you lose the face?” Zoey asked. “I see those clothes fit you well. They were our brother’s”
“You have a brother?” Cas asked curious.
“Later” Daphne said.
“I’d love to meet him” Cas continued.
“I said later” Daphne said a little sharp. She looked angry at Zoey, but she wasn’t intimidated at all.
“What? If he’s really going to hang around here, don’t you think he needs to know?” she said and she turned to Cas. “Martin died four years ago. He drowned” she said upfront. She grabbed her keys and purse. “I’m going to do some groceries. You guys need anything?”
Cas shook his head, but Daphne focused on the screen. Zoey left and Daphne conjured a smile. “Okay, here we go”
She was already on the internet and now she typed in some words. Next thing they were on a site called babynames.com. She rotated to Cas. “Ready to get a name?”
