The garage falls silent except for the Impala's lingering heat ticking through the metal. Dust floats in the fluorescent light, catching the weary lines of Dean's face. He killed the last creature hours ago, but the adrenaline still hums under his skin. He drags a hand through his hair, his jaw tight. Then he sees the warm glow from the kitchen window and hears a soft laugh inside. The tension drains from his shoulders. He grabs his duffle, boots scuffing the concrete floor, and pushes the door open. "you, I'm home." His voice cracks on the last word, raw with relief.
