Daphne was folding laundry when Cas entered the kitchen. Cas recognized the clothes Daphne had commanded him to wear.
“I should give these away” Daphne said, knowing what Cas was thinking. “I just feel like when I do I’ll have 迷失 him forever”
“You won’t lose him, even if 你 give the clothes away” Cas said. “But 你 can also keep them”
“Well, anyways, we need to get 你 some new clothes” Daphne said. “But to be honest I really don’t like shopping” She put the last piece of clothing in the laundry basket. “Maybe 你 can ask Meg to go with you”
“Meg’s gone” Cas 说 dry.
“Oh” Meg 说 surprised. “I’m…I’m sorry to hear that”
“Yeah” Cas commented. He lifted the book and put it on the table. “I found this when I looked for her. It’s yours”
Daphne picked up the book and opened it. “Did 你 read it?” she asked, looking at Cas.
“Just the first page” Cas admitted. “Is it a diary?”
“Not exactly” Daphne answered. “It’s a story, based on true facts. It’s my way of dealing with Martin’s death. I haven’t been 写作 in it since I met you”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled.
“Stop saying sorry all the time” Daphne said.
The door opened and Cas felt something solid hit his leg. He looked down and saw Alexia’s beaming face looking up at him.
“Hello, uncle Emmanuel” she 说 and she waved with her hands. Cas lifted the girl in his arms as Zoey walked in.
“Hi” she waved. She looked rather nervous. “Okay, here’s the deal. I need to go to the dentist and Shannen just called in sick. Though I think she’s just having a hangover. And I could’ve dropped Alex with my neighbor, but she kind of wanted to see you” Zoey 说 to Cas. “She’s really fond of you”
“Actually, Emmanuel has a job to do” Daphne said.
Zoey nodded in understanding. “Yeah, sure, I get it”
“She can come with me” Cas offered. He looked at Alexia. “That is if 你 want to”
Alexia nodded her head heavy. “Yes! Mommy, can I? Can I, mommy? Please? Please? Please?”
“If it’s no trouble for uncle Emmanuel and aunt Daphne” Zoey said. “She has to be back 由 five. Can 你 do that?”
“Don’t worry, Z” Daphne said. “Alexia is in 安全 hands with Emmanuel”

Cas stroked his hair and tried to keep his breathing under control. Meg didn’t understand. He needed more. He had lied about the pain being back, but he hadn’t lied about needing another dose. He opened the upper buttons of his shirt, suddenly feeling feverish.
He hurried to the dresser and opened all drawers and cupboard doors. He searched through them, checking all boxes, finding nothing. He slammed everything shut and began to rub his fingers again.
“If I were a medicine cabinet, where would I be?” Cas mumbled trembling and out of breath. He ran to the stairs and sprinted upstairs. He went to the bathroom and opened the mirror cupboard.
“Got it” he said, sighing relieved and he grabbed all boxes that had medicines in it. He took out all the strips and swallowed the pills one 由 one.
He leaned against the cold, marble 墙 and sank down on the floor. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
